Mayfield Park and Nature Preserve

Mayfield Park and Nature Preserve occupies a former private estate that includes a historic stone cottage and formal gardens dating to the early 20th century. The property was acquired by the City of Austin and is managed as a public park and nature preserve. It is widely known for its free-roaming peafowl and shaded walking paths through native plantings. The site serves as an example of preservation of a residential historic landscape within the city.
