The park just off Mormon Mill is not finished yet, according to Marble Falls Parks and Recreation. Please avoid the area until it's done

🚧 Park Update 🚧

We’ve seen some early visitors at Mormon Mill Nature Park, and we want to clarify that the park is not officially open yet.

The project is still in its final close-out phase, including remaining items at the restroom and water facilities. Until those items are completed and the park is formally accepted, the site remains under contractor control and is not ready for public use.

We recognize that the park’s appearance has caused some understandable confusion, and we’re working to improve signage and communication while final items are wrapped up. We appreciate everyone’s patience and excitement.

We’ll be sure to announce when the park is officially open and ready to enjoy! We are very close!
