Roy G. Guerrero Colorado River Metro Park — Attraction in Austin

Gorgeous Frisbee Golf Course! My favorite one! Fantastic tree coverage and shade. 18 Holes. Well-maintained. Clean. Well-marked with signs. I had a super unique experience playing this course back in the big ATX snow event of 2021! Also, there was a heavy rainfall yesterday (May 26th, 2025) with wild winds, which apparently downed a tree. I took a picture because it was interesting. Try this course out! I'm literally terrible at this game, but it's fun to play socially with friends, and it's FREE. Inflation sucks, people! Do more free stuff outdoors. BYOF. (Bring your own Frisbee) (And bring a backup frisbee too if you're terrible at this game like me and could lose your frisbee.) Don't leave your trash lying around please, people!

Edit: To find proper parking near hole #1 for this Frisbee golf course... Search Google maps for "Roy G Guerrero Disc Golf Course" and drive to that location.

Failure on my part for posting this review as per Google's prompt, but not on the ideal "Roy G Guerrero Disc Golf...

This park is a great area for hiking, dog walking, running, jogging, biking, and picnicking. However, there is a very strong smell of swamp, in some areas, since part of the water from the rivers is trapped and does not flow, which produces the particular smell of swamp.

And unfortunately this area is also occupied by vagrants, they are peaceful, but they are not hygienic and they fill the place where they have their camps with garbage, some have addiction problems or mental problems, their situation is very sad, you will see them during your visit to this park.

And it's because of this particular social problem, that I can't recommend visiting this area, but if you don't care about these problems.

Yes, it is a great area to explore. But there are better places in Austin to visit than this... I give it 2...

Great, enormous park. Awesome ball fields, playground, trails, river, frisbee golf in the shade. Get lost and forget you're still in the city. Don't let the Dallas fckheads (or Atlanta or wherever they're from) tear down the affordable apartments standing adjacent. The city wants to clear the way for developers to bulldoze the surrounding areas and build a luxury living corridor down Riverside and Lakeshore with pitiful promises of "8% affordable housing"... while casually lopping off pieces of Roy G Park (City R.O.W. by their maps) to enable the sick disembodiment of this modest, down-home neighborhood. Protect Roy G, protect your city against the carpetbaggin greed-mongers and community-haters. Roy G has suffered enough flooding and damage due to developments upstream. Resist luxury development...
