Comal Pocket Park

Small, quaint park in the middle of a neighborhood that appears to be in the middle of cleanup and gentrification. Attached to the light rail station so that’s convenient. Bathrooms looked up kept but maybe locked...? Hopefully the city stays with updating this because it looks like it has a lot of potential for the children of this area.

I like to explore all the playgrounds in Austin with our 3 year old….we hit up the usual in Great Hills, North West Hills, Rosedale, Crestview, Brentwood..downtown, Pease Park etc etc..wanted to check this place out..nice new playground in an area I would call a pastiche..a little old, a little super modern…a raw kind of area undergoing exciting development…kid had fun but wished there were other kids there…I don’t think the bathrooms were open and didn’t check because a homeless guy was hanging out there with a huge cart full over 6ft..we had a safe adventure so mission accomplished.

Found this little park while staying in downtown Austin for a convention. I have 2 toddlers with me, so finding something close, safe, walkable, clean and fun can be a challenge. Quick walk from the metro rail. This park has an area for a dog park, with a basketball court and shaded playground. It was so clean! Spent almost 2 hours playing. Up and coming neighborhood, you can tell there is a lot of change in process. Felt safe. I would recommend.

This is a really quiet playground, it's in awesome condition and plenty of features in shade.

Nice new play equipment with a basketball court right next to it. Some novel climbing equipment that I haven't seen at other parks, but otherwise pretty standard. Small park, obviously, and surrounded by crowded streets. Only partially fenced, open to streets on two sides. One (nice) seemingly homeless guy was the only other person there, so not exactly a busy spot on a weekday morning.
