Description: Disc golf, horseback trails, a playground, and more make this park a destination. A dedicated corps of volunteers keep the disc golf course in great shape, while Friends of Mary Moore Searight tends other areas.

Most recently, Friends of MMS has begun building an off-leash trail at the north end of the park. It is not yet open to the public, but volunteers are welcome monthly. (See below).

There is a volunteer project at the north end of the park to add an off-leash trail to the park and restore some of the woodlands. As of September, 2009, the trail plan has been approved and a new parking area is being planned.

South Austin Disc Association is dedicated to the care of Mary Moore Searight Park and the promotion of the sport of disc golf. The group has made extensive improvements to the disc golf course, including installing benches and moving vast mountains of mulch. Pictured here are volunteer event organizers, Bill Meachem and Claire Sorenson of Friends of Mary Moore Searight Park, and Scott Allen from South Austin Disc Association.
