Hi Austin community,
Two Areas of interest for me, I really hope you can help me with.

1. Is it relatively easy for me to find a walkable neighborhood in the heart of Austin that has nearby parks that are pretty? Some kind of access to nature? I am trying to find a walkable place where I can get to nature because I love being outside and being active, and:

2. Any places that have DJs playing funk, boogie, soul, disco even... I have heard Austin is such a vibrant musical place. So I am curious if there are places that play this kind of music.

Thank you kindly for your help.

1. There are parks throughout the city. If you want the king of all parks, Zilker Park, then the neighborhoods directly south of Barton Springs Rd are probably the best place to be.

2. Those are not the genres that Austin specializes in, but some of the clubs may have a "disco themed" night sometimes, for instance.

There are lots of clubs with DJs, yes. Just do an online search for "dance clubs, Austin" to pull up a list.

Yes several places like that in the heart of Austin, but if you want to be close to both nature (parks and hike & bike trails) but the heart of Austin is more expensive. There are places with live music away from central Austin but the selections thin out.

Soul and disco is probably less common here, but many other genera' exist. Here is a sampling

Music - The Austin Chronicle

There are lots of hike and bike trails and parks through out Austin. I live in SW Austin, this map shows trails around where I live. But I'd have to drive aways to find much live music. I can think of two restaurants that occasionally have live music within 2 miles.
