It's no secret that Mayfield Park is one of Austin's favorite outdoor spaces. And if you've ever been here before, you understand why locals love it so much. The resident peacocks are probably the biggest selling point. Locals say that watching these colorful creatures fan out their feathers and stroll around the park is reason enough to come for a visit.

Of course, the park is a beautiful spot in its own right. Woodsy trails weave throughout the park, some snaking towards the water and others heading in the opposite direction. If you wander along the creek trail for long enough, you'll actually end up at Laguna Gloria, a stunning natural space adjacent to the main park. Stop by to explore everything that Mayfield Park has to offer!
