Blunn Creek Greenbelt — Attraction in Austin

Love this park. I will drive ten minutes from my apartment to come here and walk my dog. The paths/trails stretch a pretty good distance- multiple blocks worth (from Big Stacy park to Little Stacy park). There WAS one bad experience- there’s an area by Little Stacy that is a small area that kind of looks like a “baseball” field. Despite the sign riiiight in front of it saying “All Dogs Must Be On A Leash” this dude had his dogs running all around. You know, sure, if they aren’t aggressive (I always keep mine on one though). But…as I was walking my 10lb handicapped dog past the area, this guy’s dog that was about six times the size of mine runs up and starts trying to attack her. Snarling. Trying to bite her. And she’s running all around me trying to hide and I’m trying to protect her and pick her up.

Went on a walk down the creek that runs under Larry Monroe Forever bridge with my boyfriend just to kill some time on a Saturday and get some fresh air.

A hidden gem just a few blocks east of S. Congress, terrific trail runs from Riverside to Live Oak, with Little Stacy Park at one end with playground, kids' pool, basketball, grass volleyball, and tennis courts, then Big Stacy pool at the other, open year-round & free. Plenty of open space to play ball and benches scattered throughout. Never crowded as it's...
