Lakewood Park

“I only come here to Pokemon hunt so I can't comment on most of the features, but it seems beautiful and nicely laid out a good spot for a family day out.”

Onion Creek Greenbelt

Address: 7002 Onion Creek Dr, Austin, TX 78744, USA

Park

“Super sad. There is no more jumping into the water for swimming at this greenbelt. The rains have helped but gone are the days of jumping off this bridge. Still worth the trail. Super green. Beautiful surroundings.”

Ron Rigsby Pocket Park

Address: 1110 Little Elm Park, Austin, TX 78758, USA

Park

“Nice little neighborhood spot. With some restaurants still closed we got our to do food and had a great spot to each and enjoy the weather!”

Beverly S. Sheffield Northwest District Park

Address: 7000 Ardath St, Austin, TX 78757, USA

Park

“Great neighborhood pool. Spacious parking, lots of trees to find shade and all the kids are hilarious. Seems like Austin could pad this lifeguard shortage from Northwest - the guards are a wee bit uptight imo. Anyhoo covers all swim types - you got your deep end, your lap pool, your open space pool and your kiddie pool. Nice family spot for sure.”

Legend Oaks Neighborhood Park

Address: 7724 Escarpment Blvd, Austin, TX 78749, USA

Park

“Quiet neighborhood park. Great for a daytime walk.”

Hippie Hollow Park

Address: 7000 Comanche Trail, Austin, TX 78732, USA

Park

“Great park with access to lake Travis. 8$ per person isn't bad at all and it allowed you to re enter and as well as entry to other Travis county parks. Yes it is clothing optional so keep that in mind. Gets deep pretty quickly but I still managed to find a spot near stairs 1 that was shallow enough for me to hang around all day.”

Pastor Edward Clarence Craig, Jr. Neighborhood Park

Address: 4800 Copperbend Blvd, Austin, TX 78744, USA

Park

“Cool park lots of shade just cautious with cars in area saw a vehicle missing its rims.”

Barrow Nature Preserve

Address: 7515 Step Down Cv., Austin, TX 78731, USA

Park

“I gave it a 4-star for it's beauty and ruggedness. This is NOT a hiking preserve. It is densely forested, rugged, steep, terrain, with lots of tree fall and overgrowth. That being said, if you are looking for an area to explore that gets little foot traffic, and you're willing to trailblaze, hit this place up. I'd recommend coming in off the Long Point Dr. entrance and head down the hillside. It's going to be tough sledding but there's a cliff face you can follow above the creek. As another review noted, be wary of coyotes. The morning I went there was a fresh kill, from the size of the remaining carcass, guessing a deer. Which I saw 5-6 who had no fear of me. It's a wild preserve, don't go solo, honestly, it's just too rugged and chances of injury are good. That being said, it's really pretty and have lots of birds. Only saw a little green snake, but the amount of leaf litter, I'd keep an eye out for copperheads.”

Austin East KOA Holiday

Address: 6029 Blue Bluff Rd, Austin, TX 78724, USA

Campground Rv park Park Lodging

“We were in Austin to visit our son and to enjoy the town. This is one of the nicest and cleanest KOA campgrounds that we’ve stayed at. Very neat and clean, super helpful staff and great accessibility to the downtown area. We will definitely be back.”

Family Viewing Area

Address: 3600 Presidential Blvd, Austin, TX 78719, USA

Park

“Summary: Great place to see aircraft, clean, safe, FREE Details: Worth a visit especially with kids if you live near the airport. My son and I went on a Friday at lunch and we saw at least 10 aircraft while there for 30 minutes. Lots of big shade trees for summer time!”

Cypress Creek Park

Address: 13601 Bullick Hollow Rd, Austin, TX 78726, USA

“Nice quiet park. Once upon a time it was a boat launch but, alas, the lake is now a couple hundred yards away.”

Goat Cave Karst Nature Preserve

Address: 3900 Davis Ln, Austin, TX 78749, USA

Park

“Very nice easy walk. Park down Coastal Drive where there are open fields then walk to sw corner of field towards the fence. You will access an easy to follow trail which has 3 caves to visit. One is fenced off but the other two have a small crawl space that you can venture into. My 8 and 11 year old loved the exploration.....be on the lookout for fossils.”

Roy G. Guerrero Colorado River Metro Park

Address: 400 Grove Blvd, Austin, TX 78741, USA

Park

“I had a great time playing Roy G for the first time! Heard great things about the course and I was not disappointed at all. The teepads are all nice and good signs as well with big cut stones for benches at every single teepad. This is a monster of a course and requires big shots and tight shots of all directions. I wouldn't advise this course for beginners unless you don't mind throwing +40. *I went with a few local friends and there are a lot of homeless people on holes 16, 17, and 18, but it didn't make the course any less enjoyable. Hopefully the city can get that situation taken care of soon as that did cause there to be a lot of trash along those 3 holes.”

Kealing School Park

Park School

East Boggy Creek Greenbelt

Address: 5609 Stuart Cir, Austin, TX 78721, USA

Park

“I love taking my dog Roscoe on & off the East Boggy Creek trails!! Wots not to like you got egrets, great herrings, wild Mustang grapes (got batch brewing) and Roscoe’s fav squirrels🤠”

Big Walnut Creek Nature Preserve

Address: 9221 US-290, Austin, TX 78736, USA

Park

“I'm Rating this solely to add general info regarding nature preserves. They are NOT parks. No nature preserve will have parking nor any easy conventional access into it. In fact, whether or not the general public is supposed to be allowed in there or not is a regulatory gray area. It's meant for wildlife! I'm overall indifferent about this place. Haven't even been over there, however I can't help but feel it's unfair for it have poor reviews for something it isn't meant to be or have to begin with. Gives me a soft cringe that it could so quickly be criticized by people that didn't bother getting a full scope on what it is exactly they're criticizing.. sheesh! smh”

Mansfield Dam Park

Address: 4370 Mansfield Dam Park Rd., Austin, TX 78732, USA

Park

“Well kept and maintained Travis County Park. You do have to pay admission but it's well worth it. There are areas to hike, swim, scuba dive and launch a boat. The boat parking is huge and there is adequate parking for the largest boats and trailers, there is also a courtesy dock. The restrooms are standard public park facilities. The main playground is huge and there are a few smaller ones around as well. There are tables and gazebos hidden along the trails for picnics or BBQ, there are also new pits that are cared for and not in disrepair. I would actually cook food on them. It's one of my favorite parks in the area.”

Grand Meadow Neighborhood Park

Address: 8022 Thaxton Rd, Austin, TX 78747, USA

Park

“Great view to lay back and picnic, take breathers and enjoy the breeze. Pups don't have puppy poles for baggies though, unfortunately. Else is great.”

Commons Ford Ranch Metro Park

Address: 614 N Commons Ford Rd, Austin, TX 78733, USA

Park

“One of the great parks in the Austin area. It is fairly accessible, with a good set of clear trails. The lake is the main draw, but the restored prairie is special and you'll find peace, butterflies, and other wonders walking that trail. On a colder day when there aren't many motor boats it's also one of the quietest parks, which, in addition to the prairie restoration, makes it a refuge for birds and birders. I know it can get busy here though, and folks are not particularly careful about cleaning up after their dogs or keeping them on leash. But this does not sully the natural experience, which is sublime.”

Hill School Park

Address: 8405 Tallwood Dr, Austin, TX 78759, USA

Park

“My twins loved going to Hill. Beautiful memories with the staff and teachers.”

Bauerle Ranch Park

Address: 10828 Pall Mall Dr, Austin, TX 78748, USA

Park

“Fun hiking trails with creeks & interesting water control features (like concrete dams). Connects to a lot of other trails to the east so you can go for miles. I recommend hitting up the rail bridge to the east as a hiking destination.”

Jourdan-Bachman Pioneer Farms

Address: 10621 Pioneer Farms Dr, Austin, TX 78754, USA

Park

“I was having a hard time knowing what to expect from the website and the few reviews I read. Attempting to describe our fun experience. We visited here early October so it was still a bit warm. There is a lot of walking involved if you want to see all of the cottages on the farm as you follow along a trail. There is a map you can take a picture of at the front but I didn’t find it super helpful as the numbers don’t map well to the various cottages / structures you see on the property. Take plenty drinking water. Each cottage you visit is setup with an 1800s theme. Old style living rooms, bedrooms, kitchen outside separated from the house, bathroom outside, wells, storage sheds buried half way under the ground. There are animal coups spread through the property. We visited close to Halloween so lots of pumpkins decorations. In short, there is a lot to do here if you like adventure and history. We didn’t do the narrated tour but I bet that 1.5 hour tour would be super Interesting. We passed on that assuming our 4.5 year old would want to deviate from the tour.. We plan to come back later in the month to experience pumpkin nights which happens each day of the week except Tuesdays. Sounds like a fun festival in the park with a lots of lights decorated across the park, food trucks and pumpkins carvings.”

Cherry Creek Neighborhood Park

Address: 3403 Silk Oak Dr, Austin, TX 78748, USA

Park

“Nice, meandering park. Nothing special, but what does a park have to do to be special? It's about the opportunity to make memories, and Cherry Creek has everything we need to do that.”

Canyon Creek HOA Pool and Amenity Center

Address: 11401 Boulder Ln, Austin, TX 78726, USA

Park

“The Canyon Creek neighborhood is great. The HOA recently updated the pool, which is a great place for families to swim in the neighborhood.”

Bamboo Your Privacy

Address: 6305 Wilcab Rd, Austin, TX 78721, USA

Park Store

“Absolutely love the Graceful bamboo I purchased from Amy & Claudia. It's high quality, well cared for and I can't believe how much it's grown in just 3 weeks! They were very patient and met with me several times answering my many questions and helping me to pick the right bamboo for my privacy fence. I choose the 15 gallon size to quickly fill in my neighbor's view of my patio. It's already provided some privacy and I can't wait till next year when it fills in! Plenty of water is the key!”

Bright Leaf Preserve

Address: Austin, TX 78731, USA

Park

“Hang in there! Guided hikes for Bright Leaf will be opening in the future, but I’m not sure when. I do know that the preserve is (newly) now being managed by the Wildlife Conservation division of Austin Water, and they are working to open back up the guided hikes of this gem.”

Windy Point Park

Address: 6506 Bob Wentz Park Rd, Austin, TX 78732, USA

Park Campground Lodging

“Absolutely love this place & love the family that runs it. They do such a great job with the park and you can sense the love they put into it. To the Dad that owns the park, your family is doing an amazing job & if you want to unofficially adopt me into the family just let me know!! Thank y’all for this park! ❤️”

McKinney Falls State Park

Address: 5808 McKinney Falls Pkwy, Austin, TX 78744, USA

Park

“Nice state park, the maps and trails are a little confusing tbh. They encourage you to get the map via a QR code instead of a paper one, and the paper one they do have has less info. But since you’re probably going to lose cellular service you might want to save the map or take a screenshot or something! And there are too many people here who do not have the right etiquette. We saw so much trash including beer cans just thrown into pools of water! And families with children blocking the trail (which crosses the river and is kind of narrow - so you really do need to wait for them to clear the area) plus the children screaming at the top of their lungs with the parents right next to them doing nothing at all. That said, the park is pretty nice and well maintained! Nice restrooms, nice picnic area and playground for children, helpful rangers and although the website suggests you print the day pass out, we showed them the online receipt and they gave us a printed out parking pass for the car Definitely do recommend buying your reservations online as the park fills up, especially on long weekends and holidays. Also ask the rangers for less crowded trails so you don’t have to deal with disrespectful people who don’t follow park rules!”
