History

edit

In 2021, the City of Austin purchased an additional 10 acres of land near Spicewood Springs Road with the intention of building a trail system connecting St. Edwards Park to Bull Creek District Park, creating a continuous trail system similar to the Barton Creek Greenbelt elsewhere in Austin.[1]

Features

edit

The St. Edwards Greenbelt hosts 3.59 miles of hiking trails.[5] Trails on the south and west side of Bull Creek have more varied elevation than those on the north and east side of the creek.[3]
