Great place to stop on your bike ride along lady bird lake, they have coffee and beers. You can stop and get energized or get a cold refreshing beer!! Watch out for the giant mosquitoes

Hello Austin, Its back to work for most. I am Sadden to have lost a week after the ugly, & Undeserved Encounter last week. To the 3 Police Officers....thank you for addressing the hostile park dweller. I walk to heal from PTSD, & Trauma. To lose a week because: of 2 bad characters: for me... the cop is the real problem. However; as soon as I walk, I begin the life lasting; it will be an ongoing process. Trying to Stay Ahead Of Encounters or Experiences that still are so disappointing & heartbreaking. However, on Sunday evening, I did leave my home for the 1st time in a week & this is what I miss & Love about downtown & The Beautiful City Of....Austin TX. Thank You Everyone Who listens & reads or looks at my pictures. Good & Love To The World....

Well, Waller beach has lost some of its charm recently. Use caution when visiting. Didnt witness it, but apparently a guy experiencing homelessness was chasing people around the CMACA (Mexican Cultural Center) with an axe yesterday. Also, there is a great deal of trash in the creek under the bridge.

There may be no green here right now, but through the summer its an absolutely beautiful place to hang out. Theres some pretty impressive cypress trees, and I believe Waller Creek Conservatory put in bird houses a few years ago. Also the bridge down the way has lots of turtles during the summer, lots of wildlife in the area, Love It!

We were only here to see fireworks, but I could see along the way that there was not enough room for everyone to see from the bridge. There is also a lot of construction going on that seems to also complicate having large gatherings scheduled for this location. Especially free ones where large gatherings will enviable happen.

I loved!! A super nice place, Ideal to have a good time alone, with family, with friends, etc. I recommend bringing plenty of sunscreen, light clothing that can get wet, and repellent. You can be there all day without getting bored and it is in the city if you need something everything is close by and there are many options to get there.

Ive lived in Texas (northern austin) since 2014 and have never made it down to this area of the river.. it was super pretty and lots of places to stop, sit and watch the water, birds and animals. Definitely a good place to walk around downtown and see the big buildings and the river and the same time. Super pretty spot.
