Pony Creek Park is a park in Oak Township, Mills County, Iowa, United States, northwest of Glenwood. Centered around the 83-acre (34 ha) Pony Creek Lake, it offers boating, picnicking, and fishing areas. Other features of the park include woods, a camping area, virgin prairie, and a viewing area for the local loess topography.
The park cover 53 acres (21 ha), and is administered by Mills County. In 1971, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places, because at the time it was known to contain at least two archaeologically important prehistoric Plains Indian earthen lodges, and the only ones in the region that were on public land that might be preserved.
