Rainey Street Trailhead

With the growth of the Rainey Street District, the connection between the Ann & Roy Butler Hike and Bike Trail at Lady Bird Lake and Rainey Street is becoming more vital for transportation and access to nature. The Austin Parks and Recreation Department partnered with The Trail Conservancy to identify park improvements south of Cummings Street between Rainey and East Avenue. Construction began in the fall of 2023 and concluded during the week of July 8th, 2024. Improvements include a neighborhood lawn, lounge, nature play area, a small dock, and improved trail connections to Butler Hike and Bike Trail.
