Confirmed from Lady Bird Johnson Municipal Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Recreational area offering playgrounds, basketball and tennis courts, a dog park and a pool.
What runners say about Lady Bird Johnson Municipal Park
“I love that the walk ways were clean of spiderweb, love the steps/stairs with handrails.”
“This park was great, we walked the trails, great view of the lake.”
“The nature trails were fun to walk and clearly marked.”
What a great nature walk!!! I'm here in Fall it must be incredible in spring. Don't let the ordinary appearance from the parking lot deter you! Head on in! There are several loops, different terrain and topography. We saw deer and turtles. The bird blind was great. All of the Eagle Scout project gardens are wonderful.
Absolutely breathtaking. The nature trails were fun to walk and clearly marked. We were able to see butterflies, birds, deer, and many flowers/plants. Definitely will return.
We love this park, particularly for the nature trails, access to water and pickleball and tennis courts. There is a large pool and hot tub as part of the park but it’s not open when we’re in the area. There are multiple shelters and a pavilion that can be rented or signed out for special events.
The park was large and have trails for us with our dogs. The path is made mostly of dirt and gravel. I love that it a stream that we were able to walk along. Watching the sunset along the park was nice as well. It was an awesome experience overall.
