Springwoods Park — Attraction in Austin

It's a nice, quiet park with several tree shaded paths with many benches along the way. You can reserve a covered area with several picnic tables (or use it if not reserved that day). There are also tables scattered around the park, some with charcoal grills nearby.

There are two play areas -- one for children under five and another for over five to twelve. There are a few fenced tennis courts, a baseball diamond, and a volleyball area.

My daughter and I go there frequently.. Has a 1-5 year old playground and another 5 years and up for bigger kids, cold water fountains, bathrooms and the fire department is across the street so EMS is near by. Plenty of benches and a few picnic tables to use as well as bigger covered areas with tables for larger gatherings. We hear all kinds of spoken languages.. It's kinda neat hearing them all. I should probably stop bringing my guitar so people stop asking me if I give lessons lol.

It's a nice park though.. Even if we come home covered in sand because my kid wants to dig in the volley ball court. 3 out of 5 stars. Wouldn't change a thing. Oh and its almost entirely...
