    For many years, Friends of the Park has made the restoration and care of Mayfield Park their concern. Volunteers are always needed. Visit their website for a complete history of the gardens and information on guided tours and upcoming events.

    In 2007, Friend of the Park received a grant from Austin Parks Foundation to care for the majestic oaks in the formal garden area. Don’t forget to look up!
