North Mesquite Creek Preserve

North Mesquite Creek Preserve

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 Features:

• Picnic tables
• Playground
• Basketball courts
• Baseball field

Parking is available on-street (please do not park at Ruby Shaw Elementary School during school hours). 

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.
