Southeast Austin to see new urban trails
Friday, April 18, 2025 by Elizabeth Pagano
A new urban trail segment will help students getting to Linder Elementary school, following the City Council-approved $1.3 million purchase of a 5.4-acre parcel. The property, which is bordered by Metcalfe and Burleson roads, will also provide access to Mabel Davis Park and improve a trail along Country Club Creek. A map of the city’s urban trail network can be found here.
