Most of the pretty park pictures in the headers above are from Balcones District Park, which runs along Amherst alongside the neighborhood. The park has a popular basketball court, a neighborhood pool, kids play area, and lots of wide open space. Down the trail behind the pool is access to a set of hike and bike trails, as well as a beautiful natural waterfall when the creek is flowing after rains.
We host an annual Its My Park Day clean up in conjunction with the Austin Parks Foundation. The picture on the left is from our most recent effort.
