Walnut Creek Metropolitan Park is a part of the Austin Parks Foundation, which attempts to offer more green spaces in and around the city of Austin. This classic city park near Elan East is filled with 15 miles of hiking trails, rocky streams and wildflower-covered fields perfect for exploring.
The main part of the park features a safe and sturdy playground area that the kids will love, as well as five softball fields, three basketball courts and a volleyball court that welcome casual pick-up games. The well-maintained swimming pool is perfect for hot Texas days, and there are picnic tables and barbecue pits nearby to make a whole day of fun in the sun. For your furry friend, Walnut Creek Metropolitan Park also offers an off-leash dog area where dogs can play, as well as dog-friendly trails where on-leash dogs can get some exercise.
