Dick Nichols District Park — Attraction in Austin

Nice park with concrete paved trail, but now has extra dirt and gravel trails that it is connected to (towards the back of park accessed through smaller dirt trails in the area). There is cast iron exercise equipment along park walking trail. Park has tennis court, basketball court, volleyball courts, swimming pool (though not sure when it will open after COVID), and a children's playground, picnic tables and a large open field that can be used to play soccer...although I have often seen dogs running free after balls. This is not per say a dog park and dogs are welcomed as long as they are leashed at all times and that one cleans up their dog poop. There are signs all over the park indicating this. I often see owners with bigger dogs of leash an I often ask them why they don't comply with the rules.

Also, there are some small workout stations along the trail for some calisthenics or bodyweight exercises. Definitely worth checking out, especially if you enjoy a shaded and...

A fun open and safe place for you kiddos to come and run themselves tired with plenty of shade for the parents to relax and watch them have fun. Several picnic tables nearby in case you have to have lunch, snack, or early dinner with the family. The walk/run/bike track that goes around the park is great to get some cardio in while mostly in the shade to help keep you you not so hot in the summer months. If you fancy another type of activity, there are tennis, volleyball, basketball and even a baseball courts/field to fulfill your sports itch. People that I have encountered there have always been friendly and should feel safe while enjoying the great...
