Southeast Metropolitan Park gives Del Valle a big everyday park

Southeast Metropolitan Park rounds out the Travis County outdoor picture east of Austin. Travis County Parks places it at 4511 Highway 71 East in Del Valle and describes a large park built for everyday use rather than scenery.

It is heavy on organized recreation: baseball, soccer, and softball fields, paved trails plus a two-mile primitive trail, picnic tables, restrooms, playgrounds, and a fishing pier. That makes it a practical weekend option for families and league sports on the Del Valle side of the county.

If you are looking at the southeast corner of Travis County, this is the kind of park to picture near Highway 71. Check the county page for field reservations, hours, and current amenities.
