Great scenic overlook and view of Downtown Austin. Great for sunsets and nice uphill stair case that arrives to a fabulous scenic overlook of Lake Austin and native surrounding nature. There are also picnic tables for a little romantic time to share or gather with your family. It's an historic sight and a must see.

Maudie’s has really good fresh light Mexican food. I like the veggie chile relleno because it is gluten free and delicious, fresh and filling. They have really good chips and salsa, too, and are in the neighborhood.

Parks, Pools and Nature
Barton Springs located in the heart of Austin Texas is an amazing natural spring cool refreshing and a must, especially for the hot summer days in Texas!!! It is vast and has a diving board, great for long lap swimmers and a sweet natural shallow end for children’s to catch tadpoles and explore and have a quick cool splash!!
Barton Springs Municipal Pool
2201 William Barton DrDeep eddy is a sweet, local favorite for lap swimmers. Interesting characters, a fabulous shallow end for children to splash and feel safe and easy to access get in and enjoy!!! There is also an entrance for handicapped at the bottom of the pool where they will allow entry from the main entrance.  This is where my children learn to swim, because the gradual incline of shallow to shoulder level for children makes them feel safe.  It is a natural spring and very cool and brisk perfect for hot summer days in Texas.  It has a Gorgeous mosaic mural depicting the early days of the  natural spring pool.  It is truly an Austin jewel and favorite for locals.
