The newest park in Mueller, Mary Elizabeth Branch Park is a lively park that begs to be explored.

Start with the unique water feature - four splash pads in one, all meant to “emulate the way water flows in Central Texas”. Your little one will likely love the mini waterfalls and the fact that they can sit in the “creek” running throughout the area. There’s even a light-up splash pad that rotates between colors.

After you’ve cooled off, head to the custom airplane (can climb inside and on top of) and playscape. There’s also a dog run as well as lots of space in the grass to run and play.
