Ed Austin Regional Park Winter Disc Golf & Children's Playfields

About this adventure

Encompassing 144 sprawling acres in the East Arlington community, Ed Austin Regional Park (formerly known as Dunes Park) is a bustling center for family sports, outdoor play, and fitness. The park features a massive, fully fenced children's playground equipped with towering play forts, multiple slides, swinging bridges, sensory music panels, and climbing nets tailored for both toddlers and bigger kids. A 1.75-mile paved multi-use perimeter path weaves gently through rolling pine hills and open fields, offering a safe, level track for pushing strollers, jogging, or teaching children how to ride bicycles. Sports enthusiasts can play the acclaimed Fore Palms 18-hole disc golf course winding through pine hammocks, or visit baseball fields, soccer pitches, and the community skate park. Cool winter temperatures make this sunny, breezy park a wonderful setting for active weekend family gatherings and picnics. Family Experience & Accessibility: • Stroller Accessibility: Fully accessible paved trails, wide concrete entryways, and level paths connecting all sports fields, parking plazas, and playground areas effortlessly. • Nursing & Rest Spots: Covered picnic pavilions with tables and grills, shaded benches bordering the playground fence, and permanent public restrooms with baby changing stations. • Age Suitability: Suitable for all ages, from infants on paved stroller paths to toddlers in the fenced playground and youth playing disc golf or sports. • Sensory Tips: Open green fields and energetic play areas provide ample space for movement; the wooded perimeter disc golf trails offer quieter natural zones when kids need a calm break.
