I walk my dog hear everyday I love this place and next door is a wide open field with a track you can walk in the evening. Also next door is the Colorado River and another part by the river.

Nice place to relax especially with seating under the trees. Could use a few more table under those trees though, but still, was a relaxing park to unwind in.

Grew up at this park (next block), it has awesome views of the trails. Beautiful visuals of Town lake great facilities and an outdoor basketball court that I practically lived on when I was younger. Great neighborhood and place to take your family for any outing.

I like this place a lot. The main reason Im giving 3 stars is becase maintenance staff need to come by at least 2 times with a leaf blower. If they blow out the dust from the Basketball court it would make it a safer venue. If they power wash it, that would definitely take it to the 5 star realm. A lot of people play basketball there but it needs to be better maintained.

Great little rec center. Nice cozy Park area. Awesome splash pad. Glad they have a t.ball field right next to the rec. A completely shaded basketball area in the back area. And right next to town lake. Yes we love it here.

I parked near this park once, Google keeps asking me to review this place now. It looked like it could be a good park for dog walking. It looks pretty close to lake Anne, or the river, or whatever that technically is over here. People I know in the area love the place.

Had a family event indoors. Plenty of space with the use of the kitchen. And plenty of bathrooms. Kids were able to go outdoors to play on the playground.

Nice park. Just was scared alone because of the homeless people camped out around the lake and was worried about my vehicle because I saw someones tailgate taken apart sitting off in the bushes.

I grew up right across the street from this park and my kids and my grandkids see this place as home! I hate that the baseball field was paved over to make a parking lot! They could have paved over the defunct railroad tracks for that! Generations of east Austin families have come here to celebrate life and this is probably Austins best park. Lake views, pool, sloping hills miles of trails, basketball court. I would say baseball and soccer fields but the city of Austin thought a parking lot where most of the activities in the park took place was a great idea! Anyway, great place to be!

I guess I went on a bad day. There were parties going on. Adults allowing their kids to run around in the splash pad unsupervised. Males drinking and smoking not far from playground or splash pad. I found myself and my children surrounded by kids cussing and parents not saying anything about it. Landscaping needs maintenance.

Lovely little park with a splash pad for the little ones. Has a play scape as well as picnic tables.

The water sprinkler area was too good for kids and adults. With the scorching summer heat, it is good to have some fun free of cost

Review №28

This neighborhood park and pool needs some love. There are no chairs and the lawn around the pool is mostly bur weeds which get all in your towel. The small concrete restroom looks terrible from the outside so I did not go inside. Entry is free and the pool is usually fairly clean. Guess you cant expect too much from a city pool on the east side of town.

Funny thing Mapquest told us were about to see the lake... Big surprised because took us to an end street...infront of a or water treatment place... However theres an entrance to the Park that is mostly used by bicycles.... Since we saw 2 bikes going in we follow and walk the trail... Even though our was a great adventure ... I would nite recommend that entrance....go around and find the main one... Park its great to even barbecue an/ canoing

The playground is nice. The bathrooms are a bit of a walk. If you have little ones that have to go, dont wait. Parking lot is narrow. Be mindful if you drive a van or SUV.

If youre looking for a trail to run, the pathway around the Colorado River is an incredible one. Not only do you get to see the beautiful neighborhoods, but also the stunning nature that surrounds Austin.
