Mayfield Park

What: Mayfield Park

Where: 3808 West 35th Street

When: Dawn to Dusk everyday

Cost: Free

For More Information: http://www.ci.austin.tx.us/cepreserves/mayfield.htm. Mayfield Park is a small nature preserve overlooked by Austinites. At 22 acres, what the park lacks in size it makes up for in convenience and solitude. Mayfield features peacocks that live around the stone fenced house and garden that sits near the preserve entrance. The peacocks, garden and koi pools all lend a sense of tranquility just a stone's throw from 35th street.
