Parks and Open Spaces
Mueller’s parks, trails and open space weave through the community, establishing a native, local ecosystem and bringing outdoor recreation and education options to Mueller residents, employees and neighbors. With 20 percent of the neighborhood dedicated to parkland and open space, every resident will live less than 600 feet away from a community greenspace. Mueller parks are open to the public and are host to several community events annually.
Mueller’s park system features:
- Approximately 140 acres of parks, trails and open space
- 5-mile hike and bike trail loop at completetion
- At least 15,000 new trees throughout the development
