One of the most beloved free family parks in the Austin metro sitting where the two forks of the San Gabriel River meet beneath 200-year-old live oak trees. The creative wooden playscape has been recognized as one of the best in the state and kids can spend an entire afternoon climbing the multi-level structure and racing down slides. The 1.6-mile crushed-granite loop trail is flat and wide enough for strollers and bikes side by side with evening lighting for later visits. Fishing along the river adds an easy low-key activity for kids who want something quieter after burning energy on the playground.
