 A basket on the popular Mary Moore Searight disc golf course |
Description: Disc golf, horseback trails, a playground, and more make this park a destination. A dedicated corps of volunteers keep the disc golf course in great shape, while Friends of Mary Moore Searight tends other areas.
Friends of Mary Moore Searight recently seeded a wildflower meadow, with help from a small Austin Parks Foundation grant.
South Austin Disc Association is dedicated to the care of Mary Moore Searight Park and the promotion of the sport of disc golf. The group has made extensive improvements to the disc golf course, including installing benches and moving vast mountains of mulch. Pictured here are volunteer event organizers, Bill Meachem and Claire Sorenson of Friends of Mary Moore Searight Park, and Scott Allan from South Austin Disc Association.

This mostly-wild area of the park needs some TLC. Meet at front entrance into Mary Moore Searight Park from Slaughter Lane, park just after the condos. This is also near the school entrance. Mmake sure you wear tough pants, shirts, and shoes since the cedars are quite thick. Snacks and water will be provided. Please RSVP to csorenson1@austin.rr.com.
