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.

In 2016, the City of Mishawaka entered into a partnership with the School City of Mishawaka to utilize a small “greenhouse” located on the 2nd floor of Mishawaka High School. The City was allowed access to the room to grow plant material for the City and in return, offered an after-school program aimed at engaging students in horticulture and various landscaping practices.
