Surrounding all of the Circle C residential neighborhoods is 462 acres of dedicated parkland, the Circle C Park.  While the vast majority of the park is native land with hike and bike trails only, two major developed areas provide countless hours of recreational activities for residents and their families.  At the west end of the park, seven irrigated soccer fields serve over 1600 children who play in the South Austin Youth Soccer Association.  Also, in this area are numerous park amenities including:

• Frisbee Basketball Court

• Chidlren's Playscape

• Toddler Playscape

• Picnic Tables and Benches

• Sand Volleyball Courts

• Golf Course

• Granite Hike and Bike Trails'

Future park improvements to be made by 2001 include: 

• Park restrooms and water fountain

• Extension of the hike and bike trails under Escarpment and  and faster riders

At the east end of the park is the unique 3.1 mile          Veloway, a 23 foot wide track made exclusively for   rollerblading and cycling.  The track is one of only five in the United States and sets a standard for safe and fun cycling.  Located across from the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center, the track meanders through Hill Country meadows and hills.  The Veloway is used heavily by families, recreational and serious cyclists.

Under the settlement with the City of Austin, the Circle C Parks Committee will be working with the City to obtain funding for Phase II of the Veloway, another 3.1 mile segment adjacent to the existing track.  The second phase of the Veloway will be on land that is already dedicated to the park, and provide a flat racing track, suitable for competitive time trials and criterium racing.  Phase I and Phase II will combine for an overall 10K ride, with a variety of terrain and challenges for all levels of cyclists.
