Slaughter Creek runs through Mary Moore Searight Metropolitan Park and is named after Stephen F. Slaughter and his wife Ann, who moved to the Austin region in around 1833. The humid conditions often found here mean that species like Spanish Moss thrive on the trees alongside Slaughter Creek here. This is also a beautifully peaceful place to relax within the city limits.
