Parks
Nearby public park with trails perfect for a morning or afternoon walk. This park also has a community pool and a skatepark.
One of my personal favorite trails for a brisk nature walk. Located in northwest Austin. Mostly shaded trail with lots of crossing streams and a chance to see dogs playing in the water and running around (If you’re into that)

Public Transport or Not?
Austin has some public transport (mainly city busses). They can be hit or miss in terms of arrival but plenty of routes are available. Easiest way to get around is by your own car or with Uber/Lyft. Make sure to read signs when parking and avoid a ticket/tow. In downtown there are plenty of electric scooters available to go short distances quickly.
