Starting Strength Austin

Austin Parks Foundation in Barton Creek Greenbelt is a non-profit organization dedicated to the Austin community to enhance their lives by making Austin’s parks better through volunteerism, innovative programming, and financial support. Barton Creek Greenbelt is an urban oasis where the trails provide an opportunity for biking, running, rock climbing, swimming, and hiking. They are known for the annual flagship volunteer event, It’s My Park Day, and Austin City Limits Music Festival at Zilker Metropolitan Park.

Experience the wonder of downtown Austin on foot with Walking Tours of Austin, where the guides are expert storytellers who are personable, approachable, and, well, just plain fun. Step back in time and join the exceptional Murder Walk, where true crime uncovers exact crime locations, details, and the fascinating theories surrounding the year that changed Austin forever. Are you drawn to macabre? Choose the hauntingly good Ghost Walk Tour and enjoy tales of murder, mystery, unrequited love, and ghosts. Ready for your Morning Walk Tour? Picture a mid-morning stroll through streets, alleyways, and iconic historical landmarks as you sip on a good cup of coffee,  as your guide gives the inside scoop on the best places to eat, drink, listen to live music, and explore the city.

Surround yourself with the works of Charles Umlauf and other visual artists as they showcase their unique sculptures at The UMLAUF Sculpture Garden & Museum, where they encourage the understanding and appreciation of the intersection of nature, sculpture, and the arts. Take a stroll through the gardens and contemplate the sculptures or your thoughts. Enjoy some private time with a friend as you sit on the secluded benches and enjoy the occasional dance or music performance amongst the trees.
