Nice park nestled in a residential neighborhood. The playground equipment is pretty basic. There is some equipment for young toddlers (2) such as a little slide and a simple climbing wall but that's about it. The swings are straightforward as well -- bucket and belt style. What makes this playground stand out is the impressive canopy. While most playgrounds have small canopies covering individual sections, this one has a giant canopy that covers everything. There are also a lot of trees around it so there's ample shade. There is a lot of green space around the park which is nice. Just be careful for new and wobbly walkers since it's very rocky. Short walking trail that loops around. Picnic tables.

It is surrounded by plenty of green space, trees and includes a frisbee golf park. The park is actually divided into two sections along Falconpointe Boulevard. At one location there are six picnic tables, four grills and six benches. There is a well designed Playscape with swings. An added bonus is the hike and bike path that runs throughout the large green space and the neighborhood. I was surprised to find a small T-ball field next to the park. At the other location just 200 to 300 yards away you'll find an outdoor gym area and additional covered picnic tables along with a nice small lake area with a fountain. The nice thing about this park is that you do not have to be a member of the falcon pointe homeowners association to enjoy this park. The photographs included in this review add to the story.

TLDR: Fantastic playground with canopy cover and extremely well-designed equipment for both older…read morekids and small toddlers. Bonus: fitness machines for parents and nearby walking trail. This park is phenomenal. I must have told my husband and kids that I loved this park like 20 times. I think it's seriously the best playground I've been to. By the way, I noticed some photos here from a few years ago showing a much more simple playground. It looks like they gave it a full makeover and thank goodness for that! KIDS' EQUIPMENT: The play equipment is divided into zones -- one for smaller toddlers and one for older kids. They're both really great. I was particularly impressed with the equipment for younger kids because that's usually the most lacking at many playgrounds. The main playscape had the usual steps and slide but what made it stand out was all the little interactive add-ons. The designers used every opportunity (railing or wall) to add some sort of interactive element like a sliding ring or moving shape. In addition to the main playscape, there was a little igloo (watch out: a wasp was building a nest inside -- I'm going to try to email the district about it), a see saw, a little spinning chair, and more. Oh and there's a canopy over the main playscape which is great. The larger playscape for older kids was excellent as well. There were so many opportunities for climbing -- the net was super cool. Just like the smaller playscape, this was so rich in interactive elements. PARENTS' EQUIPMENT: This playground seriously has fitness machines. I was floored. Not just like a bar for pull-ups. Three machines. This is brilliant. So you can let your (presumably older, requiring less supervision) kids play while you exercise. TRAIL: There is a short trail that continues from the playground. We didn't walk it but instead crossed the street to take the Brightwater Trail. This passes through the Butterfly Garden and continues to Hairy Man Road. It's a short walk but very pleasant. The butterfly garden is small but lovely. PARKING: Small (but sufficient) lot with some shaded spots.

There's also an exercise area, swings and paved trails. This park is also monitored with security cameras. The trail itself runs behind many of the homes in the area and eventually leads into a larger green space where it turns into a circular gravel trail where you'll find some picnic tables and benches under the trees. Much attention has been paid to the grounds care and there's even a raised rest area with two benches. There are even some plant identification markers along the trail explaining the flora and fauna. The trail here does not connect up to any other trails. It just spits you out into a neighborhood where you can walk or bike to two neighboring parks several blocks away called Cheatham and Friendly Oaks Park. This large patch of green space and play area are a great asset to the local community as the 10 photos below attest.

Good playground equipment that includes a playscape for younger toddlers. No canopy though so scorching on a hot day. That being said, there are shady areas in the park (saw a few families having picnics). The adjacent creek is nice. There's a little trail alongside it. Turn left (from playground) and you can see the famous Round Rock (just under the bridge). Turn right and you pass a war memorial and soon make it to the spiral (a spiral walking ramp that apparently offers nice views of the creek). It was super hot so we skipped the spiral. The thing that bothered me about this park -- there are lots of blank rusted signs. Were they ever in use or were they never completed? I was just confused by their presence. On top of that, I would have liked to see some actual signs. There were a few by the entrance of the park noting the location of the Round Rock, spiral, etc. But if entering the trail from the playground, you don't see any of this info. There's no sign by the Round Rock about its history and no sign by the tree sculpture by the spiral (at least credit the artist). Large parking area.

It has a full playground with swings, a tennis court, swimming pool, (I think you need passes for the pool and tennis court), volleyball court, basketball court, picnic tables, and even a paved walkway that wraps around the park. There is plenty of open grassy space to run around, throw a frisbee. It's also dog-friendly with poop bags and a drinking fountain. The parking lot is a decent size although I could see it getting filled up very quickly for an event. Speaking of, this is also where they hosted this past "Hairy Man festival."

Next to the pool, you'll find a very nice basketball court and on the opposite side you'll find the Heritage House Museum. This park has very ample parking with numerous handicap spots. Currently, it should be mentioned that from 3 to 6 PM on Tuesdays, you'll find a small farmers market gathered in the red barn at the rear of the park. One odd item that is also at the rear of the park is a very large old piece of farming equipment rusting into the ground. Plenty of photos included to add more insight.

I sought this place out because it has a number of nice hiking trails. There's even a look trail that will let you go close to five miles without having to turn back.

Tip: The loop trail is actually a figure eight; not only that but the scenery is very pleasant; there's even cliffs and a small cave :-) The trails here go through an Austin City Park, but the land is actually owned by an HOA so please be respectful and take your trash and dog poop out with you leave.

As a private park it is very clean and well looked after with the paths looking fresh and the overall aesthetic of the park looking much more groomed than many other trails in Austin.

Lining the trail are different areas to do workouts which is nice to see and there are also sporting areas at the community center as well. The foliage looked great and the rest of the open areas seemed well put together. This is definitely a fantastic park to walk through with family, friends, or dogs if you're in the area.
