Barton Creek Greenbelt

Protected Landscape and Seascape

The Barton Creek Greenbelt is a public park in Austin, Texas, managed by the city's Parks and Recreation Department. It stretches about 7.25 miles from Zilker Park west to the Lost Creek neighborhood, running alongside Barton Creek through limestone cliffs, dense foliage and shallow pools, and is organized into the Barton Creek Wilderness Park, the Upper Greenbelt and the Lower Greenbelt. Disclosed low confidence: the fetched lead names no single explicit IUCN category, so Protected Landscape and Seascape is a closest fit for this urban greenway.
