THE BULL CREEK GREENBELT
|
There are basically 4 different parks in the Bull Creek Greenbelt, all somewhat connected by the trail system, and each has its uses. The whole Bull Creek area is without a doubt the nicest area in Austin. You'd have to go into the Hill Country to find a more scenic location. The four areas of the Bull Creek Greenbelt are:
BULL CREEK DISTRICT PARK
ABOUT THE PARKThis is hands-down the best dog park in all of Austin! Ironically, it is not specifically designated as a dog park, however, this is the place to come if you've got a dog that likes to socialize. There are dozens of dogs of all types and sizes here every hour of the day during the weekends all year round! As the pictures below show, there's running, sniffing, swimming, catching, etc. It consists a parking lot, a grassy running area up top, and then Bull Creek down below. There is a non-doggie part of the park just to the north. If you follow the trails here you can get to the Old Spicewood Springs section and the Preserve section.
HOW TO GET THEREFrom 2222 and 360, head north on 360. The first stop light is Lakewood Dr. Take a right on Lakewood Dr. There are 3 entrances to the park here. The first entrance takes you to a dirt parking lot which has some nice falls. The 2nd entrance is the main entrance for the dog park and the best scenery. Go over the low water crossing to get to the third area where you can climb on the rocks.
PICTURESThese pictures were taken in the winter when the water is more colorful but the terrain isn't. It reverses in the summer - the water is whiter yet the terrain is greener. Click on any picture to see if full-size. |
