Let's Go For a Walk--Dick Nichols Park

Dick Nichols Park is a nice little park nestled in South Austin. It has been the closest park to me in my last 3-4 Austin residences. It has a lot of amenities. Tennis Courts--
A really nice playground with swings, a pavillon and shaded picnic tables with BBQ pits--
A free public pool, including a kiddie pool, plenty of space for the big kids to play, and 6 or so lanes for lap swimming (that I have swam many miles in)--
There is also a mile long loop that is paved, with some shaded areas, but mostly pretty sunny.
I like to rollerblade on the trail, and usually don't fall too much.
There are lots of wooded areas (which also equals nice wildlife, including snakes, birds, and furry animals), and plenty of Texas wildflowers, when they are in season.
