So cool - peacocks!!
We came across Mayfield Park by accident on our way to Mt. Bonnel. I am so glad we stopped. It is a little park with short walking paths. Peacocks roam free. We were able to see a couple of the males show their feathers. Hearing the peacocks all talk to each other was really cool too. It's free!

Peacocks!
My son's girlfriend took me here on my last day in Austin. What a surprise. She didn't tell me where we were going or what to expect. I walked into a beautiful, serene area with lots of peacocks, great gardens and a few ponds. The cottage was lovely. It was obvious that this property was a labor of love over the years. I had a wonderful time and would go back if I'm ever in Austin. I wish the visiting parents and children had been more respectful of the serenity and the birds, though. They were loud, running and jumping. I tried to understand that they had probably been "social distancing" and needed to exert energy, but a more appropriate place could have been found.

Beautiful park for sitting, hiking, photos
We had a lovely, romantic visit to Mayfield Park. We explored the hiking trails, sat on a bench in the garden to people-watch, and took photos of the peacocks. The peacocks are fairly fearless of visitors, but mind their own business. There are males and females and they wander around on the grounds of the garden, on building roofs, and sometimes in trees. Normally we prefer to go to places where we can take our dog, but it was nice to have a break from dogs and just enjoy ourselves, the surroundings, and the other visitors. The porta potties were gross, but maybe they're better on weekdays or earlier in the week. Bring your own hand sanitizer.
