PARKS & RECREATION
The Manor area offers abundant opportunities to enjoy the outdoors and access recreation. Jennie Lane Park in downtown Manor is the center of most community-oriented events such as the Manor Farmers Market, Summertime Movie Series, and Christmas in the Park. The park is a "Smart Park" with WiFi access and coded signage accessible by photo and web-enabled cell phones for retrieving historical and other information. The park consists of a gazebo, pavilion, as well as outdoor exercise equipment provided by a grant from the Austin/Travis County Health and Human Services Department’s Steps to a Healthier Austin Program. East Metro Park is a multiple-use recreational area with ball fields, soccer fields, basketball court, playscapes, hiking trails, stock ponds, and both free and fee reserved pavilions. The park also includes a swimming pool managed by the YMCA of Austin and is just five minutes southeast of Manor. Wildhorse Creek & ShadowGlen subdivisions include parks, playscapes, and multi-use fields. ShadowGlen amenities also include a 4-acre water park and junior Olympic-size pool. Adjacent to ShadowGlen subdivision is one of Golf Digest’s America’s Best New Courses of 2004. |
