History
Centreville Wharf was once the site of an active shipping industry in the 19th century. A few surviving structures surround the park area, one of which was Captain John Ozman’s residence. The park itself was the location of the Centreville spur of the Queen Anne’s railroad company.
Activity
Millstream is the perfect place to make a day out of a visit to Centreville. Have a picnic at the pavilion while the kids have fun on the playground. Or walk the trails and find yourself on the other side of town with more open views and great restaurants. If you would like to bring a kayak or canoe, then bring it with you because there is a dedicated launching zone for either of the two.
