Wonderful multi use trail. Nice flow and twisty bits to add to the fun. Ends at Lester field, a radio control aircraft park. Really cool.

Beautiful place and the construction is leaving behind a much nicer parking area now that it is partially completed. Makes a great destination to bike to on the Walnut Creek trail system.

This is a lovely park with beautiful trees and grassy areas. Very soon the new swimming rec area and dressing rooms will be completed. The southern trailhead for the Walnut Creek Bike is located adjacent to the parking area.

Start of the best bike path in town. Get on and head to Manor on a car free corridor. Once linked together, this will be connected to a trail network that can connect the whole city. It looks like theres a pool under construction which will be a nice way to end a long ride

Remember coming here as a kid with my siblings in the summer to swim or to play at the park. Kinda sad that all the new Austin residents are taking over my old hood and changing most of the places that remind me of my childhood.

Trail is super chill and not too crowded. Looking forward to more connectivity to trails in town, like Walnut North.

Review №29

This is just a really pretty park with some lovely trees, lots of open space. Ive never used the pool but it looks nice. And they have a walk/ bike trail that connects to the Greenbelt for a shortish jaunt or goes long through for a paved trail for some miles that has some lovely scenery.

This is a nice change from the usual rocky trails around Austin. The main drawback is that its almost entirely a paved trail.

Na
Review №31

Clean park and taken care of.

Review №32

At one point it might have been a really nice place to be. But every time Ive gone we seen a gang fight, and Drug deals going down in front of us. While our kids are playing on the playground people around us are passed out on the park benches. This is a very sad thing because the Park it self is very pretty and we go there because of the trailhead for the long bike ride. But after this last visit we wont be going back.

The park is pretty run down and not safe looking. But, it is a great entry to the Walnut Creek Hike and Bike trail. Just make sure to lock you vehicle up, if you leave it there.

Nice park with a childrens play area also. A place for picnics and sitting areas to enjoy the outdoors. Both suitable for families with or without children to enjoy the park like atmosphere.

Beautiful park.

Review №52

The multi-use trail is great, but the rest of the place is just scary! Went with a friend and our two toddlers twice. Visit 1: A gang fight broke out about 100 feet from the playground where our kids were playing. Visit 2: Mens poopy underwear in bathroom, two passed out people who woke up and used more drugs and passed out again at a picnic table near playground, 2 drug deals went down in the parking lot, guy in motorized chair vomiting over the side of his chair. Pretty disgusted with what could be a decent park if the riff raff was run off!

The paved path here is awesome. Could use some TLC with the facilities, but besides that a great space for kids, families, hikers, runners, and bikers

I believe the construction right now is what makes this park a undesired visit. Kids didnt want to even stay long.
