Katherine Fleischer Park

This is a solid park that’s super close to our new place. I love that I can jog from K Fleisch. to Mill’s Pond. Also, parts of the trail (within K Fleisher as far as I can tell) are lit at night, which is good, if you like roaming around parks after dark (not me, but it was just barely dark the other day when we left and there were lots of neighborhood peeps there, so it felt decently safe).
Nice trails that are soft on the feet when running. People thankfully seem to keep their dogs on leash here, as they should. Lots of trash cans and poop bags and well manicured fields.
We haven’t yet used the facilities like the tennis courts, bball court, or pool, but they look great! I think this will be our regular spot to get outdoorsy close to home.

Absolutely love this park and the trail. My husband and I walk through here at least once a week. It is so beautiful, relaxing, and somewhat isolated which is great. It seems like a great place for kids and families.

This is a great park! Soccer fields, play grounds, running/​walking trails, disk golf course and swimming pools. Great place to get out and be active with friends and family!

A hidden gem in the Wells Branch Area. Sand volleyball, gazebos, pool, fields, tennis courts, and basketball courts (although sometimes they are locked-​not sure why). They also have a running trail that goes through and around the park area.
Friday nights tend to be the best volleyball nights. They also have many festivals during the year, like for the 4^th of July, and even a Pioneer Festival, where they open up an old cabin and have a longhorn on site. Great community.

My family and I came by yesterday but the play house was fenced off. I guess they’re remodeling. The other old relic homes were locked. Kinda of a bummer.

The Wells Branch Neighborhood is connected along a greenbelt with 6 miles hike and bike trails. The trail allows access to the recreation center, Willow Bend pool, soccer fields, Mills Pond, Katherine Fleischer Park, the disc golf course. The trail is open 5am to 10pm daily. There are walking and bike trails that connect to Mills Pond that features a beautiful duck pond and fishing pier, in the evening part of the trails are lighted with ground level trail lamps that create a magical mystical private garden as you walk along the trail.

A great neighborhood park in Wells Branch that is a must visit on cuteness alone due to the wooden, multiple storied playhouse. My little one worn a costume and pretended to live in the «castle.»
The only reason why we don’t frequent it more is because it’s in almost full sun in the morning. I can deal with the heat, but not direct sunlight. Also, it’s a little ways out for us.
They have restrooms on site, both small and large playscapes, swings and that glorious playhouse.
Watch out for the squirrels… they can get a little too close for comfort and don’t respect personal space when there is food out.

Great park for all ages! The first thing my 4 year old wanted to check out was the kiddie-​sized castle (naturally!) There’s a big and a little playscape, monkey bars, lots of open room to run around and play, a little gazebo where the grown-​ups can sit in the shade and watch the kids play. I saw a pool, but not sure if it’s for neighborhood residents only. My only complaint is that the little playscape isn’t shaded at all, and by 11 AM in August it was too hot for little legs and hands. But that’s most playgrounds in Texas in summer. We can’t wait to go back and check out the homesteader cabin thing and duck pond.

So… where to begin. Fisrt time were here it was for the 4^th festival. It blew my mind. I loved it and I could not wait to come back after that 4^th hype was all over. We did. A couple times now! It has been so wonderful having a nice park to go to. The playhouse is amazing fun for the kids. And yes I got in too. So awesome inside! Is it for adults? Well, not really… Lol. But hey. It was fun I had to see what it was like.
The park itself is so shady its ridiculous. Plenty of lounging areas in the center of the playground d and around it as well. A beautiful area… And they have pool in «splashing distance» :-) $ 5 per person. Not bad. Not crowded either.
Most of the people I’ve seen are decent and happy go lucky. Occasionally there are some others I wish would change their ways a bit… I don’t care to hear rap music blasting out of a phone… especially while kiddos are playing nearby. Just saying. Ear buds. Try them!!!
Overall? A GREAT park. On the top of list of favorite parks.

Very nice. The play house could use more lighting but my daughter loves it. Love the trails!

This park is wonderful! We love living in Wells Branch because of the access to several REALLY cool parks, wildlife, pools, and the lake/​trails. This park in particular is so great for kids; the playscape is large and fun for all ages, there are several fields for soccer and baseball, great running trails, a beautiful pool and kiddie pool area, tons of trees! During the holidays it’s especially magically to live near here, special park events for 4^th of July, Christmas, Easter… Great family area!

This park is seriously fantastic. Of course, it helped that we had perfect weather. But I was in awe. There’s a large play area with the standard equipment (swings, monkey bars, etc). But what sets it apart is the huge wooden playhouse with the spiral staircase! It’s like something out of a fairy tale.
There’s also a large open area (great for soccer or kite flying) and there are walking trails and restrooms.

This is a very nice park. There are well kept, wide paths that are stroller friendly. They have plenty for kids to do. There are lots of swings, a castle, an 1800s homestead with homesteaders, baseball, basketball and soccer areas. There’s lots of green grass and a pool. They even had baby farm animals the day we went.

Lovely little neighborhood loop. Perfect for my little dog who gets to run in fresh grass, cross little bridges and meet other pups :)

Cute park lots of space to have the kids run around three play grounds swings and a house for the kids to play in, lots of shade but not a lot of places to sit in, the bathrooms are in need of cleaning.
Other the. That the kids loved it, they also have the pool area but it was closed today but also looks nice n the little splash area for kids.

This park is like the Town Lake of North Austin!

What a great little neighborhood park. We dropped by for our grandniece’s birthday party, and we were very impressed with the size of this park, its wide variety of facilities and its general state of cleanliness. This park has picnic areas, tennis courts, a swimming pool, a recreation building, a playground – and even a rustic farmhouse! There’s also a large field suitable for football or soccer. This appears to be the community’s flood catchment system in case of emergency, thus turning something utilitarian into something useful and beautiful.
I envy the people who live around this oasis of awesome.

This is an awesome community center with plenty of playscape area and a great playhouse that goes up 3 levels.
There are plenty of seating areas for parents to sit and watch the kids. A soccer field near by and probably much more than I even know about.
We were there on Easter Sunday, so it was crazy busy. We’ll definitely be back.

Hey Tracey! I know you’ve been trying to hang out in the great outdoors more, especially now that it’s spring, and getting darker later. Have you heard of Kathy Fleischer Park in Wells Branch? It’s not that far from you, I think. Sure, it’s owned by the Wells Branch Municipal Utility District, but I’ve heard several sources call it «…the jewel of the Wells Branch neighborhood.»
I know neither of us have kids, but there is a pretty cool shaded playground, with all the requisite swings, slides, and climby stuff to tucker out the little ones while moms gossip nearby. There’s a nice pool that’s usually pretty busy in the warm months, and often hosts way-​too-​intense kids in some sort of swimming league. And there’s fields where folks play soccer, do yoga or some sort of crossfit-​type stuff, fly kites, and whatever the heck else you’d do with a pair of football-​sized fields. There’s always folks playing hoops, tennis, and sand volleyball.
But the trails are where it’s at. Nice and wide, and mostly very level, with cute little bridges here and there, and little lantern light fixtures that come on at dark, and make things much brighter than you might expect. You can walk, jog, or bike there easily, and develop short or multi-​mile routes. I prefer a loop north that goes by the duck pond (hey, watch out for the geese). South takes you across Wells Branch Parkway, and gets a little more, errrrr… isolated than some folks are comfortable with, when you get to where the «disc golf course» is. But they did to a good job of connecting neighborhoods and maximizing the easy of use for many folks. And it’s really a diverse set of folks using the trails, so the people watching distracts me while I’m gasping for breath.
Maybe we could do some jogging here before it gets too godawfully hot? I like to start at this park, cause it’s kind of central to the area trails, and has the best parking. Yeah, let me know!

Katherine Fleischer Park is the jewel of the Wells Branch neighborhood. It is a large park that has several gazebos, a large heavily shaded playground, giant playhouse, pool, soccer field, volleyball courts, tennis courts (that double as basketball), baseball field.. . you name it, this park probably has it. It also has the original homestead and some signs explaining the history of Wells Branch. I often see school buses parked out front while school children take tours of the well maintained gardens. Kinda a neat little dose of Austin/​Texas history.
It is well integrated with the trails that go through the Wells Branch neighborhood, and includes trails to get to the frisbee golf course (called Wells Branch Park on Unilocal), the Wells Branch library and Mills Pond. It is a great place to have parties, large gatherings and ball games. You can rent out the community center for a small fee and it has a lovely courtyard that connects it to the playground. The Wells Branch MUD does a great job maintaining the park so it’s always a pleasure to visit.
