Post Austin and Round Rock

Yes, Townlake is nice, if you don't mind crowds of both pedestrians and bike riders, so just be careful.
I love our trail here on Brushy Creek (Round Rock west). It is a couple of miles long, dirt, not paved (therefore a jogging stroller will work best). And you have playgrounds on Creekside, Olsen Meadows and Champion Park then another next to the dam.
I would think Zilker has good ones too. The botanical garden is nice, and I think pretty accessible as well.
I am SO glad both our children hike along with us now!

yep, Brushy Creek is where I go. Especially since you can let the kids play at both splash parks or the dino dig afterward. I would like to branch out and find others as well so I'll be checking back to see if anyone suggests something different. I don't have a jogging stroller yet so it can be a bit bumpy on the unpaved parts. I think that goes for Town Lake as well.
