Location: South, In/Outdoor: Indoor Activity level: Varies Features: Battlebend Park is a small (4.9 acre) park in south Austin, named after the neighborhood it is located in, Battlebend Springs, a pleasant working-class neighborhood established in the 1970's. It has a few picnic tables and benches in the shade, one covered picnic table, two basketball courts, and three playscapes, one for young children, as well as swings. Cost for a family of four: free Best for ages: all |  |
The Experience: This is a small park, not a destination park, so don't expect to experience hours of entertainment unless you are going to play basketball. The park has very nice landscaping, with plantings of several different types of flowers. There is no shade on the playscapes. Our daughter liked the slanted bars that kids could climb to get up on the playscape, as they were somewhat of a challenge.
Before you go: Bring sunscreen, consider bringing a picnic.How to go cheaper: Not possible.
Birthday Parties: Do it yourself. It would need to be a small party, as there are not enough tables there for large groups.
Accessibility: Coming soon.
