Allen Park

Oh! What a wonderful find. Tara M. couldn’t have described this small, secluded hiking park any better.
I was looking for something new and fun do this afternoon, and that’s when I remembered Allen Park. I hiked the trail for 20 minutes and I was the only one there on a Saturday afternoon. It was wonderful and much better than going to the gym!
I can’t wait to go back for a picnic lunch or maybe bring food to grill out someday because this park is outfitted with picnic tables are barbecue grills.

Nestled just off Balcones Dr. and 2222 is a hidden gem. That gem is a park that maybe only the near by residents know about. We hiked the short 1 mile hike yesterday evening and it was fantastic — with the first cool breeze of the season it was surreal and we only passed one other person the whole time — almost as good as it gets!
From 2222 West turn right on Balcones, turn Left on Hart, L on Westside — park entrance is on the left.
