Mayfield Park and Nature Preserve

The 23-acre grounds contain multiple ponds filled with koi fish, colorful gardens, palm trees, and natural hiking trails through dense woodland areas.

The site began as an 1870s limestone cottage, later transformed by the Mayfield family into formal gardens with ponds and stone paths in the 1920s.

The park serves as an educational center where visitors observe native Texas plants, migrating birds, and resident peacocks in their natural environment.

Visitors can explore the grounds daily from 5 AM to 10 PM, with parking available off West 35th Street near the main entrance.

Free-roaming peacocks inhabit the gardens year-round, nesting in trees and displaying their feathers across the formal garden areas.
