South Austin Park is a great resource for people who live on this side of town. Get up off the couch and enjoy the great outdoors with a stroll around the park’s 11 acres. In addition to walking and jogging trails, there are two basketball courts, two tennis courts and a multipurpose field, offering great opportunities to have some fun while getting a great workout. Two barbeque pits and eight picnic tables mean you can pack up some food and have a fun picnic or cookout with friends and family. They also have some great programs for kids and adults at the park’s recreation center, like children’s camps, art programs, youth sports and wheelchair basketball. Open every day.
