Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:

Located in northeast Austin, Walnut Creek Metropolitan Park contains over fifteen miles of trails for hiking, which weave through woods, creeks, and rocky ravines that are all beautiful and perfect for wandering.

The trails are rough and natural, with uneven terrain and roots, so while they are great for hiking, they are not appropriate for strollers. The park also is home to a playground that is suitable for kids of all ages, a swimming pool, and sports facilities like a volleyball court, baseball/softball diamonds, and basketball courts.

Visitors can reserve a picnic shelter for gatherings, or enjoy a meal at one of the picnic tables and barbecue grills around the park for more impromptu events. All throughout the park, Walnut Creek provides a perfect place for swimming and exploring nature, right in Austin’s backyard.
