In addition to the Town Lake Hike and Bike Trail, a popular walking spot is Camp Mabry, headquarters of the Texas Army and Air National Guard, at 35th Street and MoPac in West Austin. The headquarters belies its name and is, in fact, a bucolic park with trees, grass expanses with only the occasional vintage fighter plane on view. There is an oval cinder track for die-hard runners and walkers. See the previous Austin Parks listings in this chapter for hike and bike trails in the city. Tennis players also have access to several school courts during the summer months.
Courts are concrete, asphalt or laykold and are available free of charge.
Reservations are necessary and fees are charged to play on the courts at the city's four municipal tennis center facilities, which are larger and have lighting. All courts are laykold and lighted. Fees are lower at other times. Caswell 24th St. and Lamar Blvd. A summer tennis league is headquartered here, and lessons are offered.
