Mary Frances Baylor Clarksville Park

Mary Frances Baylor Clarksville Park is a pocket park located in the historic Clarksville neighborhood of Austin, Texas. The park spans 1.43 acres.

The park features a playground area that was recently upgraded. In 2021, the City of Austin Parks and Recreation Department undertook a project to remove the existing play equipment and play surface, and install new play equipment, drainage, and a safety surface in the existing playground area.

One of the key attractions of the park is its splash pad, which provides a refreshing spot for children to cool off during hot Texas summers. The park also includes picnic areas, allowing visitors to enjoy outdoor meals in a pleasant setting.

For sports enthusiasts, the park offers a basketball court and a dedicated outdoor pickleball court. The pickleball court is available for open play seven days a week.

Mary Frances Baylor Clarksville Park is open daily from 5:00 AM to 10:00 PM, providing ample time for community members to enjoy its facilities. The park is wheelchair accessible, making it inclusive for visitors with mobility challenges.

Named after Mary Frances Freeman Baylor, an African-American community organizer and founder of the Clarksville Community Center, the park serves as a tribute to her contributions to the local community.
