West Austin is blessed with a number of fantastic City parks, including Eilers (Deep Eddy) Park, Johnson Creek Greenbelt, Lions Municipal Golf Course, Mayfield Park and Nature Preserve, Red Bud Isle, Reed Park, Shoal Creek Greenbelt and Pease Park, Tarrytown Park, Walsh Boat Landing, and Westenfield Park. Parks and open space are consistently recognized as one of the most important and attractive features of a neighborhood. They also serve as special places for us to gather as friends and families.
Given the limited public funding available for supporting our public parks, each park has (or should have) a dedicated group of private supporters and volunteers, and we encourage you to support our parks through volunteer work and generous financial support. You will find their information on some of these groups with the following webpages:
