Live Oak Brewing Company is one of Austin's oldest breweries, best known for traditional German and…read moreCzech style lagers, especially its hefeweizen, pilsner, and seasonal lagers using old world brewing techniques. Founded in 1997 by Chip McElroy, Live Oak was built with a simple idea "make beer for people who actually like the taste of beer." In 2015, Live Oak moved to their current location on a beautiful property along the Colorado River, opening a taproom and biergarten. One its unique features...it's off the beaten path of other breweries. Live Oak Brewing is north of the airport and backs to the Fast Park remote airport parking lot. At first glance it looks like it's a convergence of a fire station and deserted manufacturing plant. The grounds are impeccable...tall statuesque trees, lush green vegetation and an extensive outside biergarten. It feels like you are in a nature bubble. Interestingly, Live Oak Brewing has its own on site 18 hole disc golf course (different from traditional golf) located directly on the brewery's property. Live Oak Brewing's interior has the feel of a German Hofbräu...homey, spacious, and welcoming, with long communal tables that encourage conversation and human interaction. You can see directly into the brewing space, with large tanks and equipment. Also, board games are available if you choose to play. Live Oak is family friendly and dog friendly. In fact, Groot, the owner's dog, freely roams through the brewery drinking area. While I only had sips of beer (not a big beer drinker), my friends enjoyed their beers. Live Oak Brewery Company is a super fun place to hang out.

There's also a soccer playing field, a hiking trail that leads to secret beach with views so downtown and a shaded picnic area. The picnic area can be reserved for a day through Austin Parks&Rec and can be used for group gatherings or birthday parties.

Wow... the secret beach.. how beautiful. I came from Houston on a day trip. I won't tell everyone…read morespecifics to try and keep this secret as much as possible, but if you're coming here the first time.. it isnt easy to find. I can see how most times people just drive off.. me being the curious person I am just started walking by myself in the woods on a trail. I fortunately just so happen to see one woman walking her dogs and followed her in that direction but i swear to you she was walking fast as to not give this place away hahah! She actually disappeared onto another trail and couldnt find her.. (like Alice and Wonderland and the white rabbit style).. finally I heard splashing! I looked to my right and saw a weird trail that went down a steep side hill. So I followed the noise.. its pretty steep so be careful! After the brush and trees cleared THERE IT WAS! CLEAR, COOL WATER!! It was shallow when I got there and only about 8 people were there at 1pm during a Saturday. As time goes on it gets deeper and the water rises! Also more people start coming too. It feels sooooo amazing! You can grab a chair and just sit in the middle drinking and cooling off. Dog friendly! I spent a few hours with my boy before heading back. I live for finding places like this!

This is the most unique Disc Golf course I have ever seen…read more I have played Disc Golf in 44 states at this point and none of them have been anything like flying armadillo. Such a cool set up you can tell they truly put a lot into it and my wife and child had more fun than they've ever had playing disc golf so worth the admission. I will be back at some point if for nothing else but an ace run because I was so close on so many holes and despite playing Disc Golf for 20 years at this point, I've never had an ace

Everyone who works here is so nice and helpful if you have questions and anyone who plays here is the SAME! Love this place!

Zilker Park is Austin's giant front lawn -- sprawling, busy, and full of every outdoor activity…read moreimaginable happening at once. On any given day you'll see dogs chasing frisbees, people picnicking like it's a competitive sport, and someone doing yoga in a spot that makes you wonder if they're performing for the whole park. The lawn stretches out forever, and on a sunny day it feels like half the city is out there claiming a patch of grass. Yes, the Zilker Zephyr (the little train) still exists in spirit, though it's been through closures and rebuilds. The current version -- the Zilker Eagle -- runs a short loop that's basically nostalgia on wheels. Kids love it, adults tolerate it, and everyone agrees it's one of those Austin things that doesn't need to make sense to be charming. Down by Barton Springs Pool, the real show is the area where the pool overflows into Barton Creek. It's almost always packed with families, college kids, and anyone who didn't feel like paying admission or dealing with lifeguards. It's a lively, slightly chaotic stretch of water -- people wading, floating, splashing, and generally having a great time in a spot that feels like Barton Springs' unofficial side‑door entrance. Parking is its own adventure, especially on weekends, and you'll see people trekking across the park like they're on a pilgrimage from wherever they finally found a spot. But once you're in, it's easy to settle into the mix of sunshine, crowds, and classic Austin energy.

Our wonderful Rhodesian Ridgeback passed on to the rainbow bridge three months ago at the age of 14…read moreand we were lucky enough to have the opportunity to rehome a five-year-old Ridgeback -- see photos. Her name is Tails, previously Wrigley. Have been to Zilker with her five times in the three weeks that we have had her, most recently this morning. This continues to be a great place to take a friendly animal and allow them to run wild off leash. She loves mixing it up with the other dogs and, being a Ridgeback, she is the fastest dog out there other than some of the Vizslas. Loves the sand where volleyball is played! Lots of parking! Easy access!

Lately there has appeared a bunch of little "rugs" all over. Is it art? Has it something to do with the Frisbee course? Is it the work of some random art-prankster? I have no idea, but I love such mysteries. The creek that flows through tends to be a mess, and a clean up would be welcomed. You may spot the occasional homeless dude camping out, but I've never had any problems. Just a nice urban park.

Wow. We went out here for the first time, and this is the most beautiful, well maintained course…read morethat I've ever played on. We never would have known this place was here if a friend in San Marcos hadn't told us about it. They're open to the public on a limited basis as this is a PDGA course, but keep an eye on their website and call ahead to confirm they're open to take advantage of any opportunity you have to go. They have two courses, Rolling Meadows and Circ Hill. We played on the Meadows and it was a great course. It's beautiful and pretty logically laid out. I'm a little mad that we didn't manage our time better because I wanted to play the Hills as well, but we had lunch plans and had to leave before we could. Their pro shop has a variety of discs for sale and a well stocked fridge with sports drinks and the like. There's a $10 greens fee for each player, but you can tell that they put that money to good use. That course was just amazing. We will definitely be back.

The local club manages this VERY WELL and PLEASE respect the neighbors if your discs go awry. Locals will help you abate the drama of private property surrounding the area. Private Property: Security says only members or people with members of the neighborhood association are allowed to play here; but, there is a local disc golf club that meets here every Tuesday evening if anyone's interested. Plenty of trees and elevation changes. Protected pin placements require finesse and accuracy to birdie. Dual tees make 18.
