About the Location
Natural Features
Mueller Northwest Greenway is a 30-acre park located in Austin, Texas, as part of the larger Mueller community development. The greenway features a mix of natural and landscaped areas, including native plantings, shade trees, and over 60 transplanted pecan trees.
Several mature red oak trees have also been relocated to the park, contributing to its diverse arboreal landscape. The park's design incorporates both ecological and recreational elements, providing a balance between natural habitat and community use.
Trails and Recreation
A key feature of Mueller Northwest Greenway is its 10-foot-wide hike and bike trail, which is made of decomposed granite. This trail connects to the broader Mueller trail system and serves as a starting point for exploring the area.
The trail network offers visitors extended walking and cycling opportunities throughout the community. The park's layout is designed to accommodate various passive activities and provide open spaces for relaxation and enjoyment of nature.
Environmental Benefits
Mueller Northwest Greenway plays an important role in the Mueller development's stormwater management system. The park includes features for filtering pollutants from stormwater and detaining runoff, which helps mitigate flooding in adjacent areas.
The land has been contoured to appear natural while incorporating sound hydrologic engineering principles. The park is situated adjacent to Dell Children's Medical Center, making it a peaceful green space for patients, visitors, and medical staff.
