The St. Edwards Greenbelt, also known as St. Edwards Park, is an 80-acre greenbelt surrounding Bull Creek in northwest Austin, Texas.[1][2][3][4]
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]
