Good park. Its an older park but still a good one. The playground is not very large but gets the job done. It has one playground with monkey bars and a swing set. It also has grills located throughout the park with picnic tables. It has a walking trail, basketball court, and a pool on the property, too. I recommend a visit if youre looking for a smaller, less busy park.

Great small park with walking or biking trails, playground, restrooms, picnic tables and benches throughout. Not very crowded except for special holidays. Lots of dogs and owners present. Plenty of space to play!!

Lovely small park with paved and gravel trails and a nice playground. The interior trails are fairly level so nice if (like me) you want a little walk outside but without dramatic elevation changes.

Great park for kids and families. The playground has a larger playset for bigger kids and a smaller one for tiny kids. Lots of trees and open greenspace, whats not to love?

The park la suitable for dogs owners who loves to go against the park s rules. Lately, I am seeing very rowdy citizens, so loud and fighty. Also, I started to seeing homeless resting on the benches, sleeping and singing which it is ok. I think policemen need to patrol more often this park.

Great neighborhood park with beautiful surrounding trees!! Lots of shady spots to lay out and chill without the crowds at Zilker. We bring our dog here all the time for walks and jogs. We play catch, fetch, and frisbee. Theres a public pool although right now its closed and theres no water. Theres a playground as well. Theres also tennis courts you can use when there arent students using them from the high school, because I think technically, the tennis courts are on school grounds.

Great for morning walks & has a decent playground. The pool is okay, but I wish theyd clean it more often than once a week. Theres a few very old graves in one section, which seems both bizarre and peaceful.

We love Garrison! The community pool is great, but getting pricey. The park is beautiful with great playgrounds - yes there’s more than one! There is always a game of pick up Bball going, all skill levels welcome. The pavilion is nice and we’ve been wanting to try out there bbq pits!

I absolutely LOVE Garrison park! Being a native austinite, I have been so lucky to have grown up in South Austin and I have been coming here my whole lifetime and will continue. The playscape is amazing for our youngsters and the pool is exactly what the doctor ordered for those piping hot Texas summer days! You can always meet new friends of the two legged and four legged variety!

Love coming here. Its relatively close to where I nanny so we can walk there. Well the play area is pretty small in terms of pi equipment it still has a toddler size slide and swings as well as regular swings and even a swing for special needs children. Also there is a pool with a separate toddler pool area that you can pay for. Always seems to be kids at this park anywhere from the ages of 2 to 5 or 6. a couple times Ive seen older kids but mainly those ages seem to really enjoy this park.

Garrison is one of the best parks in Austin. Lots of trees that shade the playground and picnic areas well, a big pool with a smaller, separate kiddie pool, and large grounds to spread out on. Theres basketball courts too and a big pavilion. Lots of people throw birthday parties here which is perfect for the kids to run around while adults talk. Theres a small gender specific bathroom.

A nice, and when I went, quiet place to meditate or relax.Even though its right off Manchaca, its relatively quiet.I only stayed to enjoy my lunch and can tell that the benches shaded by trees, provide excellent coverage from the sun.There is a playground nearby where children can play as well as barbecue grills, spread across the park.

I really enjoyed that their was plenty of space for animal to play around and a swimming pool, great for the hot days of summer. Also, their was a park further for kids to play if they dont want to swim and stay dry while conveniently having shade. However, there was only one table that I saw and the grass was tall. Hope they make add some new tables and the little trash for dog poop.

Garrison is a good park to go to. I cant say Ive ever used the pool, I feel like over the years it has always been closed when weve gone. But the playground has lots of shade, maybe ALL shade! Great summertime playground. And a basketball court in the shade. And beautiful trees and a nice walking trail.

Incredible park. Alot of history and some peculiar mysteries. Goes far in the back. Many of young people from the Crockett High School have sat in same place you may be many years ago. Many of first kisses and unfortunately some broken hearts. However that is all apart of life and that being said... We live we learn... nonetheless Stop in sometime bring your kids family, there are bar- b- que pits at the ready, basketball court, kids playground, and public facilities clean and courteous.Thank you and enjoy your visit.. P.S. We are Austin Texas and that means we are PET FRIENDLY..
