Merrifield Pool will not be opening for 2020 season. The Mishawaka Parks Department has been evaluating this situation for nearly a month. A firm decision needed to be made at this time due to the amount of time that it takes to prepare the pool for the summer.

Mishawaka Parks Department and the Battell Community Center have been closely monitoring updates from the CDC regarding COVID-19. Our main priority has been the community and our patrons. With this in mind, we have made some changes to our events and activities through May 1, 2020 in an effort to keep our community safe.

The Mishawaka Parks Department will be having a ribbon cutting event for the Mishawaka Education Foundation Community Greenhouse on Saturday October 19th at 11am on the corner of Broadway and Marion Street where the newly constructed greenhouse is located. This is the 2nd City of Mishawaka community fundraiser project made possible by the Indiana Housing & Community Development Authority CreatINg Places program which provided a 100% match to funds raised by the community. The Mishawaka Education Foundation generously donated $10,000 to bring life to this new structure and 77 other patrons followed their lead to help raise the necessary funds.
