Preserve Overview
North Mesquite Creek slowly winds through this wooded 22-acre Preserve which is located immediately north of Shaw Park. The creek's serpentine curves and flow, along with the presence of cattails, often give part of this site a swampy appearance.
Preserve History
North Mesquite Creek Preserve was the third preserve in the County's open space system. It was created in 1983 via donation from a local developer.
