Brinkhoff Park Named after an early park enthusiast, this park serves as a welcome park on the west edge of Pella on Washington Street. Many flower beds, a small windmill and picnic tables greet those entering Pella from the west. Amongst the mature trees and expansive open space you will find three shelter houses, picnic tables, a butterfly garden and the park's biggest attraction, a large wooden playground.
