Parks Make this Austin Neighborhood Shine
With 350+ acres of green space and 13+ miles of trails, Easton Park offers a slice of Austin.
Parks are the heart and soul of Easton Park: when this Southeast Austin neighborhood is complete, it will have more than 350 acres of green space and 13+ miles of trails. Best of all, each of the neighborhood sections has a flagship park inspired by a famous park from around the world—with an Austin spin.
Meet the Parks
Bryant Park offers a hammock garden, trike trails, playscapes, and a covered pavilion with grill stations. And it’s home to a lot of great memories—the Great Lawn in Bryant Park was home to the neighborhood’s first three Parkapaloozas, an annual live music festival.
Knob Hill Park is the best spot in Easton Park to watch the sunset! To honor its San Francisco namesake, this park is home to the Easton Park Trolley, a repurposed Dillo trolley that used to carry people around downtown Austin. You’ll also find swings and a great hill for sledding.
Union Park brings people together at The Union, a luxurious 14,000 sq. ft. amenity center featuring a club-style fitness center and resort-style pool. Union Park East and West offer park space and trails, including Easton Bark, our current dog park.
Kieke Park is named for the Kieke family, who owned much of the original land where Easton Park now sits. Our park pays tribute to this heritage with a plaque that tells the family’s story as well as stone monument benches engraved with their names. The logo for this section has a fig, which commemorates the fig trees that used to line the Kiekes’ property.
Because Skyline Park is home to the highest point in the Easton Park community, it only seemed appropriate to name this section after a park in the Mile-High City. When complete, the views from the 21-acre flagship park will give Knob Hill a run for its money! And pocket parks and inter-connected trails throughout the section will give residents walkable access to The Union.
Located just south of the neighborhood’s onsite elementary school, Easton’s newest section, Discovery Park, is rich with trails, natural areas, and a 1.62-acre park with heritage oaks and a public art installation from renowned artist Beili Liu. Natural play opportunities will include a dry creek, dig zone, and sensory gardens.
Austin-Style Living
If you like all the green space at Easton Park, wait until you see the homes. Easton Park has partnered with six builders to offer homes designed for the ways Austinites live, with a variety of floorplans, lots of upgrades, and a range of exterior styles.
Come see the parks and tour the neighborhood’s thirteen model homes.
