Metz Neighborhood Park — Attraction in Austin

I grew up right across the street from this park and my kids and my grandkids see this place as home! I hate that the baseball field was paved over to make a parking lot!

Lake views, pool, sloping hills miles of trails, basketball court. I would say baseball and soccer fields but the city of Austin thought a parking lot where most of the activities in the park took place was a great idea! Anyway, great...

Funny thing Mapquest told us were about to see the lake... Big surprised because took us to an end street...infront of a 🏭 or water treatment place...

I would nite recommend that entrance....go around and find the main one... Park it's great to even...
