The Domain in Austin has more than 100 high-end stores and restaurants, but it’s more than just a mall. The grassy, bucolic setting is also the perfect backdrop for community events, and since it’s less than three miles from Folio, it would be a snap for you to check out what The Domain has to offer.
FXfit Austin holds Vinyasa flow yoga classes on the lawn at The Domain several days a week, including 6 p.m. Mondays. And, until April 30, the classes are free of charge. And through the end of October, The Domain features a free concert series every weekend. This weekend, April 24-26, several singer/songwriters are in the lineup, as well as Salero, a Latin tropical band, from 2-5 p.m. Sunday.
The Domain also features an 800-square-foot outdoor play area with slides, climbers, and plenty of interactive equipment to keep the kids busy.

Find the Great Outdoors near Folio at Austin’s Zilker Nature Preserve
April 3, 2015 by
In a city known for its close ties to nature, Zilker Nature Preserve offers an extra 60 acres of outdoor space. Located just a short trip from Folio, Zilker Nature Preserve boasts a labyrinthine network of hiking trails. They're ideal for a jog, a stroll, or even a bike ride on a sunny day in the city.
You should allow plenty of time to stop and smell the roses, though—or rather, to take in the picturesque views. One Yelp reviewer depicts his favorite scene in a photo: a sun-washed pond flecked with visiting birds. They perch on the dry gray stones protruding from the water, seemingly presiding over the lily pads and ebbing waters like royalty. While you hike, you'll also encounter moss-laden stone faces and trickling creeks. Make your way to the Overlook Trail for a breathtaking view of Austin's entire downtown.
