Walnut Creek Park
Almost 300 acres to explore at Walnut Creek Metropolitan Park
Walnut Creek Park spans nearly 300 acres and is packed with paved and unpaved hiking and biking trails. “I actually live in the area surrounding the park … and it’s almost like multiple parks in one,” says Katie Kennedy, marketing and communications director for Austin Parks Foundation. “There are wonderful water features and it's easy to spend the whole day exploring. We go to the park all the time, but we are always discovering new places to explore.” Residents enjoy taking their pups to the large off-leash area, while nature lovers enjoy the native flora and fauna of the park. Locals cool off in the Walnut Creek Park pool in the summertime, while kids enjoy the nature-inspired playground.Less than 2 miles from The Domain

Residents can stop by the Tech Ridge Center shopping mall and grab groceries at Walmart or H-E-B. After, locals can unwind with a game of bowling and a bite to eat at Pinstack. Local restaurants with global flair accentuate the area, including Peace Bakery and Deli, known for Middle Eastern dishes like fresh falafel and shawarma. Rice Bowl Café has an extensive menu of traditional Chinese cuisine, and French Quarter Grille is a New Orleans-inspired restaurant serving gumbo, étouffée and po' boys.Condos and ranch-style homes
