Lake Travis Area Parks Guide: Lakeway City Park

Lakeway City Park

The Lake Travis area is blessed with many wonderful outdoor spaces, and Lakeway City Park is one of my favorites. At 64 acres it’s a huge area with plenty of options for all ages and interests.

My favorite thing about Lakeway City Park is the large paved path that loops around the park. Because it’s away from busy streets and usually not too crowded it was perfect when my daughters first learned to ride their bikes. They could practice wobbling while I jogged alongside. It’s a scenic path, and at any time you’ll likely see joggers, walkers, pets and families enjoying the sights along the 1+ mile loop.
