Austin Parks and Pools: West Enfield Park

by

Just on the edge of Tarrytown, adjacent to Mopac, West Enfield Park is surprisingly peaceful. When you’re in it, it’s fairly easy to block out the road noise.  It may not be the prettiest of the neighborhood parks, but it’s got a lot to offer with its wide open spaces, large pool, tennis and sport court, ball field and playscape/swings.

Austin Parks and Pools: Shipe Park

by

Shipe Park has a lot to offer a family, especially if you have multiple children. There’s a wading pool, a regular pool, tennis courts, a basketball court, a playscape, a covered spot with a Foosball table and an open area to run around in. There are several places to grab lunch before or after in the neighborhood. Plus, it has an amazing mural.

Austin Parks and Pools: Reed Park

This is a sweet spot, tucked in the rolling hills of Tarrytown. It’s a quiet neighborhood with lots of families, your little ones are bound to make a friend or two. Besides the park and the pool, there is also a hiking trail and an open area where you can play Frisbee, throw a ball around or just let the kids run free!

Swimming Holes Around Austin: Blue Hole

If you are looking for that perfect natural spot to get your your toes wet and are over your neighborhood pool, strap your seat belts on and head to Blue Hole. Blue Hole is a natural swimming hole just 40 minutes south of Austin outside of Wimberley, Texas.

Austin Parks: Veterans Memorial Park

by

Austin and the surrounding area is home to several parks. Parks with playscapes, splash pads, pools, grills, picnic tables… we’ve got it all! Do512 Family wants you to know as much as possible about every area park that’s out there so that you can pick the right place to play with your family and friends.

Veterans Memorial Park sits on a beautiful green grassy hill and contains more than just a cool play structure; it is actually 3 parks in one. Located at the edge of the hill country off of 1431, you will drive upon lots of happy dogs, the view of this green hill with a large America flag sailing, and a water park in the back corner. Sounds great, right? Well, here’s the breakdown…

The Park itself:

Turn left inside the parking lot and you’ll find plenty of spaces. On the right, is a really fun new play structure. (Not your old wood beams here).There some funky monkey bars, lots of stuff to crawl through and spin on. It is really intended for older kids, which is great, because those are hard to find!

Austin’s Secret Beach

by

NOTE: You are not allowed to swim or tube in this area of the Colorado River.

Secret Beach is down a dirt path and hidden behind some bushes. Pretty vague, right? Don’t worry, we’ve got your back with a step-by-step to help you find this secluded location. It’s shallow, it’s sandy, and it almost always has water; making it a perfect spot for younger kids to play.

Secret Beach is located inside Roy G. Guerrero Park (map). Take E. Riverside to Grove Blvd., go all the way to the end, and you will find yourself in a parking lot, facing a trail.
