About McMillen Park

Welcome to McMillen Park, a versatile Fort Wayne venue offering intimate event space and accessible city amenities. The McMillen Pavilion within the park accommodates up to 256 guests with bench seating arranged around 16 ten-to-twelve-foot folding tables, ideal for community gatherings, meetings, and small receptions. The park itself sits at 3900 Hessen Cassel Rd and Oxford St, Fort Wayne, IN 46806, with daily hours typically 6:00 am–11:00 pm. Whether you’re hosting a workshop, celebration, or club meeting, we’ve got you covered with practical details on seating, parking, transit, and nearby lodging and dining options.

Need more space? The nearby Franke Park hosts the McMillen Family Pavilion (Franke Park), a larger 6,000 sq ft event hall with on-site parking and a dedicated lobby, opened in 2024. It’s a short distance away and part of Fort Wayne’s broad pavilion offerings managed by the City.

We’re your go-to for straightforward, no-fuss ticketed event planning—like having a friend in the business who can connect you with the right spaces and services. Secure your seats and plan with confidence, knowing you’ve got reliable, local insight on parking, transit, and nearby accommodations.

Transit to McMillen Park is convenient via Citilink Route 10, with the park listed as a valid stop for riders heading to the community center and pavilion. Parking is available on-site for most events, with accessible options in nearby lots. If you’re traveling from outside Fort Wayne, consider staying at hotels near the Grand Wayne Convention Center—such as Hilton Fort Wayne and Courtyard Fort Wayne Downtown—both offering convenient access to downtown venues and dining options. For a complete experience, check out local dining and lodging partners we recommend affiliated with events in the area.

Historical note: McMillen Park has hosted Fort Wayne’s Fourth of July fireworks in the past, though the city no longer conducts that show at this site. For other annual and seasonal events, keep an eye on updated postings for new venues and dates, including the McMillen Family Pavilion at Franke Park and related community celebrations like Bicycle Night at the Fantasy of Lights.
