Take the family out for a splashing good time at the Mitchell Aquatic Center, where you can swim laps in the 50-meter, 6-lane competition pool or try out the double slide that runs over 100 feet. This waterpark has something for the whole family with zero-depth entry, a water walk, sprayers, slides and more.

Lay out the picnic blanket for free outdoor concerts by the Mitchell City Band, or run off energy at any of Mitchell’s 20+ public parks and beaches, including basketball courts, sand volleyball pits, softball diamonds, soccer fields, tennis courts and more.

FUN ON THE WATER

Lake Mitchell and the nearby Missouri
River offer an abundance of boating,
fishing, swimming and camping
opportunities.

With five baseball fields, 14 softball
fields, five soccer fields, and a skating
