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!

Austin’s Secret Beach

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.
