What a wonderfully free way to entertain children. I spent the weekend with my grown daughter and two grandchildren in Austin. It's a job entertaining a six and seven year old.

They have cool trails and a beautiful garden area with peacocks and Koi in the ponds. We take cat food and feed the fish & peacocks. The kids enjoy it.

This is where my son loves to take me on a picnic for Mothers' Day. It's also evolved into a fun place to take our granddaughter. She loves seeing the ego maniac peacocks. Stunning.

Mayfield is one of the lesser known parks in Austin--charming and quiet. Peacocks are a major attraction; several were doing beautiful displays while we visited.

The estate is on the National Register of Historic Places and includes a Beautiful cottage, very nice walking trails lined with oak and palm treee. There are flower gardens and peacocks. One of the trails led us to the historic site of the Laguna Gloria Art museum complex.
