As park of our commitment to serve the community, I’m introducing a new segment. Jesse Wayne from the Parks Department will start calling in weekly to give us a report about Austin’s great outdoor spots.

This is your Austin Parks update with Jesse here to talk about a little gem up in Georgetown. The Pond is a great place to pack a pic nick, relax and throw stones at turtles. I spend countless hours chunking rocks at the little fellows. Afterwards you go cliff diving! I’ve made a turtle pelt swimsuit, which you will need because the pond is only about 4 feet deep.
