The area is big with plenty of tables and spots to set up chairs, cooler etc. You can bring your own cooler it just can't contain alcohol. The area was also clean and water was beautiful. We rented two tubes for $5 each that lasted three hours and a paddle board that was $10 for an hour. Very family friendly and although we didn't purchase anything they have a cool two story bar where you can buy alcohol and sit on the patio by the water. Overall, it was a fantastic experience and we will be back.

It has well established walking trails, some have pretty good shade because of the surrounding trees another area is more of an open park with more of the feel of a school track. Both are nice. There were a few people when we arrived early and as the morning drew on more people arrived. But the area is so expansive it never felt crowded. It was a very pleasant morning on this trail. I'm hoping to come back on a consistent basis to walk here as an addition to my normal workouts.

What a neat park so close to home that is manageable in size and interesting in, well, nature…read more Perfect for a quick hike alone to watch birds eat and bathe in a sanctuary built for them. Also great for getting the energy out of the kids with fairy doors to look for, a chimney structure created for a specific feathered friend in mine and other fun rocks and benches and more to crawl on. The path is a mix of mulch and dirt. Dog bags and can provided so it's great for the four legged friends as well. There is a small rustic pavilion and picnic benches scattered. No restrooms. The map at the trailhead definitely needs to be updated but I guess that makes part of the charm in the unknown discoveries. Wish I had more pics to share with you but you should probably see the rest of it for yourself.

There are landmarks scattered throughout the trail, spaced every 10 minutes or so to encourage you to keep going. The park feels like someone's backyard instead of a regular hiking trail, but in the best way. I'm not sure how long the trail is; maybe one mile? It took about 30 minutes to complete while stopping to look at the signs and structures along the way. It's definitely worth visiting! There are plentiful directional signs around the park so you never feel lost. A very unique experience.

Apparently, Tanglewood has a neighborhood troll because suddenly out of nowhere some insane person is in the street flailing about, hops in his truck, and chases me down trying to run me off the road all while honking, waving, and cutting me off. The police appreciated the photos and video I've provided and said it's helpful in their investigation. Apparently they've gotten other calls about this individual who is problematic for the neighborhood. Who jumps in their truck and starts chasing down cars passing by?? Like a rabid dog.

Looks like they have sports games here. We had to use the bathroom but unfortunately it was closed. Had to use the portapotty. After that, we got walking and it was a beautiful area. The water was dried up in some spots but other parts had a beautiful water area. Just wish it were a longer walking path along the water. The trail was fairly short. But otherwise clean and safe. Good place to bring my dog except I wouldn't let him near the water since it was pretty dirty.

Also, there are sand volleyball courts. The kids can play on the recycled parts made playground or splash around on the splash pad in the summer. The bathrooms are clean, and drinking water is available On this recent trip up to Buda we were audience to the a free summer show. The Central Texas Theater Academy put on a fantastic rendition of Grease in the amphitheater of the park's Great Lawn. Now I will remind you that it's still hot during the Texas summer, but as the sun broke and sunsetted, a breeze passes through, the park grounds become better than bearable and all sorts of life and activity congregate. The city park in Buda is a wonderful place to enjoy your end of day with family and friends. Recommend.

They had a great cookie vendor as well. There were three different cook offs- chicken , ribs, and brisket. We were bussed from Cabella's. The buses came really often so we didn't wait long. This was a fantastic weekend. Thank you to all who worked so hard to make it run smoothly. I will be back next year to watch!

Would love to give more stars for this park. The only…read moreproblems -from my experience- are from others who go there... 1) It's NOT a leash-free park, but a large number of people think it's ok and allow their dogs off-leash. Dismissive owners range from "it's ok, my dog(s) [is/are] friendly" (despite concerns/quarrels) to complete disregard of picking up their dog's poop (or bagging it and leaving the bag on the ground). Dog owners can absolutely make or break your experience. And yes, I'm a dog-owner! Kinda sad for me to report that I'm kinda happy that APD frequently visits! 2) People leave trash or their dog's poop bags around. Picnic tables by the playground area or the pavilion can be littered with trash. Poop bags can be spotted throughout (so sad- how hard is it to deposit the trash/poop bags in the receptacles provided?). Wish people took care of their trash better so that others can enjoy this park! 3) As a former baseball coach, the poop situation is ridiculous regarding the fields. Imagine YOUR kid trying to stop a ball and diving into poop - not cool. This park used to be a place that kids could gather, learn, and play baseball: It's become a cesspool of poop and uncaring dog-owners (shame on you!). 4) There's so much more positive about this park, but unfortunately the prior mentions seriously cloud any purpose of other comments. Yes, bathrooms (if they're open/not vandalized). Yes, trails (if there aren't teenage pot smokers present). Yes, an awesome basketball court! Yes, there's a historical graveyard next to the basketball court. Yes, nice parking. If those who visited this park did their part - following the laws, picking up after themselves, etc - then Longview deserves 5 stars. As it is as of this post, sadly: 1 star.
