A smaller and less crowded spot to play or cool off in Mueller.

If you’re looking for a quieter alternative to Mueller Lake Park, this 2.5-acre green space is a community favorite. Every year, the neighborhood of Mueller holds the end of its 4th of July parade here - and its Easter egg hunt! There are some picnic tables, a partially shaded playscape, a basketball court, and a large playing field. The pool does charge a fee for non-residents and includes a baby/shallow pool which is actually connected to the regular pool.
