Parks, Hiking, Biking, and Camping

Explore a new playground (try the new Alliance Children’s Garden, Pease Park, or Waterloo Park). Here’s where you can find all of our favorite local playgrounds.

Take a hike! Some of our favorite kid-friendly trails are River Place Nature Trail, Walnut Creek, Great Hills Trail, and the Barton Creek Greenbelt. Or head out a little further and hike at our favorite place: Enchanted Rock!

Try camping at Buescher State Park if it’s your first time camping with kids!

Volunteer! Pick up trash along our trails as a fun fall act of kindness. Sign up for your time slot at Generation Serve, The Trail Foundation, or just bring some gloves and trash bags and pick up trash on your next hike.

Take a Day Trip to a local Texas Hill Country town!

Brushy Creek Trail has 6 playgrounds that you can walk or bike to!
