 Because of the close proximity to the University of Texas, parking presents a unique circumstance in that there is only metered parking Mondays through Saturdays, 8:00 am to 5:00 pm. The cost is $1/hour and may be paid by coins or credit cards at adjacent kiosks. Parking is free after 5:00 pm on weekdays and Saturdays and is free on Sundays. Adjacent streets have resident permit parking only during the week, 8:00 am to 5:00 pm.

 Eastwoods Park is my favorite Austin neighborhood park. It's grown up a lot in the past fifteen years, and now has amenities in place that we take for granted, like children's playscapes. This is due in a large part to the Eastwoods Neighborhood Association, whose members remain ardent stewards and advocates for this precious urban green space. For many years, we lived only a block away from that beautiful park (so yeah, I'm a bit biased). My children crawled, toddled, walked, ran, swam and had many adventures in and around the trees, trails, playscapes, swings, wading pool, tennis and basketball courts. I think one of them even did a science fair project there. We have so many great memories of helping clean up the creek, attending the Eeyore statue inauguration, and always, always birthday parties. It was the venue of choice for both our kids' birthdays, as well as most of their crowd. So many tree branches! So many pinatas! If you've ever wondered why there always seems to be a brightly colored candy wrapper or two under certain trees... well, now you know. We stopped by the park recently to admire their new splash pad. If you haven't had a chance to visit this gem of a park, do it already. You might come to love it as much as we do. Felecia
