Trails fork off from the park that provide a convenient path for elementary and junior high students to get to school.

This one-acre neighborhood park is nestled in the trees. Sue Luce’s Daisy Park serves as a focal point for socialization and recreation. Utilizing nature as the playground for younger and older children, this whimsical activity park features a giant spider climber, an ADA-compliant swing, stepping logs and a hill that youth can climb up and roll down.

Coach Les Peacock Park
The newest park in the neighborhood of Maybella Forest is Coach Les Peacock Park, named in memory of the late Les Peacock who was a longtime coach and educator at Willis ISD. Nearly one acre, this wooded park has been built out to realize a child’s ideal vision of a backyard fort, complete with climbing features and elevated play structures integrated among the trees to set the stage for imaginative play.
