Sightseeing
Barton Springs Pool is an icon. Go for a very cold swim in the spring-fed pool. You can also take dogs to "Barking Springs" just outside the gate, where there is no entry fee.

Austin is serious about it's green spaces and the green belt stretches for miles, with multiple trail-head entrances. It took me a bit to figure out how to access it, until I found this guide. https://austinot.com/austin-greenbelt-guide
Dogs welcome. Most people let them off leash, although it's not technically allowed and can carry a fine. Consider bringing a swim suit if you want to enjoy any of the streams along the trail.
