"Great area with lots of open space for the family or a quiet moment to yourself.
Features a "lost" path that connects to the Historic Montopolis Bridge.
Disc golf, trails, lots of native trees, and plants, a must visit for those in the city with pets who love exploring new smells and going on nature adventures."

"Gorgeous Frisbee Golf Course! My favorite one! Fantastic tree coverage and shade. 18 Holes. Well-maintained. Clean. Well-marked with signs. I had a super unique experience playing this course back in the big ATX snow event of 2021! Also, there was a heavy rainfall yesterday (May 26th, 2025) with wild winds, which apparently downed a tree. I took a picture because it was interesting. Try this course out! I'm literally terrible at this game, but it's fun to play socially with friends, and it's FREE. Inflation sucks, people! Do more free stuff outdoors. BYOF. (Bring your own Frisbee) (And bring a backup frisbee too if you're terrible at this game like me and could lose your frisbee.) Don't leave your trash lying around please, people!
Edit: To find proper parking near hole #1 for this Frisbee golf course... Search Google maps for "Roy G Guerrero Disc Golf Course" and drive to that location.
Failure on my part for posting this review as per Google's prompt, but not on the ideal "Roy G Guerrero Disc Golf Course" profile."

"I am pretty sure many positive reviews are true and accurate.
However, I visited Roy G. Guerrero Park in Austin Texas twice this week.
There were at least 3 people involved, by all account not from the same group rummaging through trash bins or cans at the park. The latest account happened on 08/24-08/25/2025. I personally would not believe it, had someone shared this with me but, I witnessed 3 individuals at different times presumably all on bicycles take the top cover off of trash bins, and rummage through the containers seemingly looking for something of value.
Last month, I witnessed a similar account, however, I only saw one individual involved. This is not healthy and discourages others from returning.
My review is not to criticize but rather, to inform."
