East Metropolitan Park

This park has plenty to offer from field space for sports to paved trails which are great for walking and jogging. There is a small wooded area to go explore within the nicely sized disc golf course. There is even a fishing spot available which is great for families and bountiful basketball court space. Enjoy the tranquil scenery as you walk peacefully along the park trail, a nice escape from the city.

I’ve gone here a few times for the Neighborhood fishing stocked pond (bull frog pond). This park is a bit off the beaten path and quite a drive if you live central or in south west Austin. The pond that is stocked is quite small and the regulars know and watch the stocking dates so it definitely wasn’t the nice quaint little secluded fishing experience I initially thought I’d be getting. In my head I pictured a few families, or fathers and their children, or new fishers, but it was instead mainly old long timers. They do have a little pier and I expect they stock the pond all year. Overall it was a nice experience that would have only been nicer if there were a bit fewer people out, so I wouldn’t have to worry about the guy to my right casting and crossing/​tangling his line with mine.

Huge park that feels like you’re out in the country and away from the city. Lots of space, great long course for disc golf and little ponds everywhere. A hidden gem!

Not exactly thrilled about this one. Been there a few times. I think the greatest thing they … For us… Is the tire swing. Not a lot in the way of playscapes and there is virtually no shade around them. Its hotter than heck. Its right down the road from us so I’m sure we will go back… eventually. But honestly… I was so unimpressed with the few times we did go. I kept hoping for something more but never got it. They have bridges I see people fishing off of. I guess that neat. Large courts for basketball etc. Which is nice but also also feel a like a bit of a «grey area» in the evening. I guess the park is OK. But not even close to the top of my list.
We want to to go to the pool. We have not yet been there. Will write once we do. Hope its better than the park itself!

I love the pool they have here it is owned by YMCA and there is a fee. Adults $ 6 kids $ 2 and I love how big the park is and the sidewalks they have to walk thru the park with your kids I think it’s a beautiful well taken care of park and whenever I go hardly anyone is there that’s what I love most about it!

Park is a multiple-​use recreational area with recreational facilities financed with voter-​approved park bonds to include: two sport fields, four youth baseball fields, three adult baseball field, four soccer fields.

Bring your smiles and bring your fun because this is the place that you will use it!
There are many things to do here: exercise paths, soccer fields, rental pavilions over the water, catch and release fishing, and my favorite Disc Golf!
The park is big and expansive. You can easily get lost walking the area or finding out where your party of friends have settled.
They have a great playground and covered basketball area. The bathrooms are clean and there are security lights as well.
My favorite thing here (yes, I am bias) is Disc Golf. You forget that you are actually still in Travis County with all of the country around you. The Disc Golf Course is a Pro Level Disc Golf course that has dual tee pads to help those with less skills. Most recently the park has hosted many great tournaments, to include recently: Texas States Disc Golf Championships (A National Tour Stop).
There are many amenities here for the young and old. I like how the convenience of the children’s playground is near the fishing ponds. It makes the grand parents work so much easier; they get to fish with/​without the kiddos and let the kiddos play on the play ground as they wish.
It may seem to be far from the City, but it is also the reason you drive out here. It is a great park and it is well maintained by the parks department.
