Shakopee Memorial Park is a community green space centered around the historic Mill Pond. This pond, which winds through the park, is fed by natural springs that originate at the site of Samuel Pond's mission to the Dakota people, connecting the park to the region's earliest history.
At the lower end of Mill Pond, a grist mill once played a vital role in the community. Built and operated by Samuel Pond's sons, Martin and Robert Pond, the mill used water from the pond to power its operations. Today, the park offers a tranquil setting that honors the legacy of the Pond family and the city’s industrial origins.
