As of June 7, 2016, the park is still in the "works". But the pool is open, the playground is…read moreasking to be loved and the community garden is beautifully sprouting all sorts of greens. The playground's large mounds of turf reminds me of a Teletubbies scene. We really love sitting, sliding, rolling, jumping, and leaning on the turf. The monkey bars are quite a amusing and some parts sit over the turf mounds (see the pictures). There are a couple of swings. No toddler swings. There are big boulders for climbing, sitting, etc .. around the playground, which has some well positioned shade trees. This is so important for the Texas summer and people just don't think of that during the layout. Big thank you to the designers on this one. Please be aware that this is a dog on leash park. Some people do walk thru without leashing. The pool is smaller than Ella Wooten Pool. The baby/toddler pool is separated from the adult pool and has some shade. For this summer, lifeguards are on duty from 9am to 10pm and will close on WEDNESDAYS. We are looking forward to using this pool lots this summer.

When my boyfriend said "let's go meet our friends at the peacock reserve", I didn't think twice…read moreabout saying yes and I also didn't think twice about it being a ACTUAL place with peacocks. This place was honestly so cool. The peacocks free roam so it's important to be mindful where walking, and especially important to watch in their small parking lot as the birds wander into there as well. With that being said, there are no dogs allowed. We walked around the grounds a bit trying to find more birds. There's benches to sit, nice little water ponds to see, and a little trail as well. Would definitely advise going with closed toed shoes if you're planning to walk the trail. It's not really stroller friendly as there are branches and rocks scattered all along the path. I would definitely come back here, should I find myself back down in Austin. Such a wholesome and peaceful place!

I first visited Mayfield Park several years ago when visiting Austin for the first time with my…read moreboyfriend who is from here. The park is famous for the peacocks that reside on land of nearly 23 acres. They're so beautiful to watch. The park also has koi ponds, hiking trails, gardens, and the Mayfield-Gutsch cottage that dates back to the 1870s. It's a beautiful and peaceful park to hike, walk, or just relax in. Extremely well maintained and cared for. It's also a place my sisters like to visit when they're in town to see me.

Heavenly Gardens is an award-winning public garden started and cultivated by "Papa Prevo" who has a genuine love for people and nature. The garden is roughly 2 acres and is flourishing with a variety of vegetables, fruits and flowers; created to provide the community with access to organic produce, and knowledge on how to grow their own food. We learned so much on our tour, and I was empowered to plant more when we returned home! Thank you again Papa Prevo and volunteers for the unforgettable experience. Let's support gems like these by visiting and donating!

I like to find neighborhood parks and this tiny one is nice for this little cherry creek…read moreneighborhood. It seems as though the playscape area is fairly new. It's covered with some shade sails. There is a volleyball net which looks fairly low. I think it's a sand court. I didn't walk that far over. There are some picnic tables and some outdoor grills. That area is covered in trees and has lots of shade. My dog had fun chasing a squirrel there so she gives it three doggie paws. I didn't seem any water fountains but maybe I just missed them. It would be nice for human and dog water at the park.

This is a city of Austin Park located in the Cherrywood in Neighborhood. It is surrounded on three…read moresides by the backyards of local residences and a wooden area on one side. It consists of about three or more acres of green space, which also act as water retention areas. It has a really well designed play scape area along with some covered swings for the kids to play on. There is plenty of green space to run around in, and there are numerous picnic tables with accompanying grills. There is a separate, smaller playscape area, not far from the volleyball court. There are two points of entry, and both are at the ends of dead end streets. Despite being a nice neighborhood park, there are no public bathrooms or a pool, and it does not connect up to any existing hike and bike trails. It's definitely a nice asset to the local community. Lots of photos that will give you greater insight included.

This is a beautiful old grove of pecan trees that provides the neighborhood residents with a…read morepeaceful, unpaved place to take a stroll, walk their dogs (please keep them ON leash!), and, seasonally, collect delicious pecan nuts. The grove is not formally recognized by the city as a park (and you'll want to keep an eye out for poison ivy around the perimeter and bases of some trees) but the pecan grove is a much-needed green space in the rapidly densifying East Austin area, as well as a community resource that harkens back to the time when this part of town was mostly farmland. Take a walk through the grove, enjoy the trees, take your kids -- and be sure to pick up after your dog!
