The St. Edwards Greenbelt, also known as St. Edwards Park, is an 80-acre greenbelt surrounding Bull Creek in northwest Austin, Texas. [1] [2] [3] [4]

History

In 2021, the City of Austin purchased an additional 10 acres of land near Spicewood Springs Road with the intention of building a trail system connecting St. Edwards Park to Bull Creek District Park, creating a continuous trail system similar to the Barton Creek Greenbelt elsewhere in Austin. [1]

Features

The St. Edwards Greenbelt hosts 3.59 miles of hiking trails. [5] Trails on the south and west side of Bull Creek have more varied elevation than those on the north and east side of the creek. [3]
