 Walnut Creek Metro Park features a large off-leash area |
Description: Walnut Creek Park features a large off-leash area and a multitude of hilly, meandering trails popular with mountain bikers. Austin Ridge Riders has adopted the trail area.
In 2007, the group undertook to add signage to mark the often confusing pathways. A grant from Austin Parks Foundation paid for over 100 trail markers, and the group has put in countless hours designing and implementing the marking system.Upcoming Events
