whats up? i dont think this has been asked before as i know we all hate redundant questions on people who are about to move. however i have two specific questions for the parks. i am looking to move in a few months from nyc and was wondering is there fitness facilities at the parks? i.e. pull up and dip bars? and also what is the condition of the basketball courts? my friends down there already said theyre nice im so excited. thanks for any info everyone

Here is a list of the parks with links to a document for each one which lists what amenities are located there. I could not find one with fitness equipment. The hike and bike trail in Legend Oaks has fitness equipment located at various places along its route.

The trail along brushy creek includes several parks with ranging activities from kayaking, skate park, soccer fields, swimming pool, tennis courts, skate park, and kids activites. The one thing it doesn't have is basket ball courts that I can think of.

Sorry, I forgot to post the link. City of Austin - Parks and Recreation Department - Explore Your Park

Just because fitness equipment isn't listed that doesn't mean it isn't there. The Stacy park greenbelt has fitness equipment on it midway.

Even the parks in the 'burbs have fitness equipment. Old Settler's Park in Round Rock is freakin' awesome - 5K hike/bike trails through beautiful wooded areas, plus a lake, plus multiple soccer fields/tennis courts/cricket fields/kiddie playscapes/pavillions.

You really can't go wrong at any of the city/surrounding area parks.

It's at the extreme west end of the parking lot at the ball fields just to the west of Parmer Ln.(the fields that were under water for so long after the Sept. deluge). Park entrance is on Brushy Creek, just west of Parmer...or ride the trail from Brushy Creek Lake Park westward...or Twin Lakes Park/183 eastward.
