Off-Leash Dog Recreation

This easy hike in the north Austin Wells Branch neighborhood is on a smooth, mostly flat paved/crushed granite trail that goes through parkland and neighborhoods. It is usually lovely in the spring. The hike will be about 4 miles long and take 1.5 - 2 hours. Parts of it are shaded and parts are in the sun. You can get there from I 35 or MOPAC. We will meet in the small parking lot at **MILLS POND PARK, 15108 Wells Port Drive. WARNING: It is easy to miss the park entrance. Look for the sign.** Please consider if you are in shape for this kind of walk, for your own safety and in consideration of others. Check this website for cancellation if the weather is questionable. See you there! **Directions from I35:** **Head north on I 35** and **take** **exit 248. Head** **west on Grand Avenue Parkway**. **Turn left onto Wells Port Drive** In approximately 0.6 miles, then **turn right into the Mills Pond Park** **entrance** in about 0.6 miles. There is a stone sign at the park entrance and a small parking lot. **Directions from MOPAC/Loop1:** **Head North on MOPAC** and **take the exit for Wells Branch Parkway**. **Turn right onto Wells Branch Parkway** for about 1.5 miles. Turn left onto **Wells Port Drive** and go about 1 mile. **Turn left into the Mills Pond Park entrance.** Restrooms are located at the parking area.

Hey! This is SUPER last minute, but Jake and I wanted to try an event tomorrow on Easter around my usual dusk time. Let's hope the weather cooperates, the cancellation of Saturday is one reason Easter's worth a shot (I think it's Passover, too!) Hope some of y'all can make it! Please leave a comment here if you wanna come, but 6:00-8:00 is difficult. We figured the church-goers would all have time for that by the usual Sunday dusk event timeframe. Can't say as much 4 Passover seders (I miss those! Such a wannabe Jew...) John Connelly HS since Old Settlers is a bit far 4 most. I miss my old location on Chavez at Austin High (their night lights ALL stopped working,) but if anyone wants to meet there, sunset's not 'til around 8PM lately! Chime in if u prefer that. I posted 6-8 instead of 6:30 or 7 start time JIC ppl wanna meet there. I miss it!

**Join us for a 3-mile queer nature walk at Southern Walnut Creek, followed by a coffee social.** All open-hearted, open-minded humans are welcome! Since this is a sapphic group, we especially welcome queer women+, nonbinary folks, and trans friends. Leashed pets are welcome on this hike! **IMPORTANT INFO** * There are no restrooms at the trailhead. * On-leash pets are permitted and very welcome. * We follow the [Leave No Trace principles](https://lnt.org/why/7-principles/). There is some parking at Govalle Neighborhood Park. If that lot is full, you can also try Govalle Baseball Field. There’s a metal bridge near the trailhead. We’ll meet there for stretching and introductions. This path is fully paved and we will go at a nice, leisurely pace. Afterward we'll have a coffee social at [Stargazer](https://www.stargazerbar.com/). For anyone who needs a ride, we coordinate carpooling via our Discord group. Please message Courtney or Braxton (organizers) or DM @ATXsapphichikingcrew on Instagram if you’d like to join. We recommend joining in case you're running late or need help finding us so you can reach out to us on the day of. We do try to wait for any latecomers but in order to respect everyone's time, we will hit the trail no later than 30 minutes after the posted start time. See you soon, friends! 🌈

Come listen, sing, and/or hum along!! The Water Tank is one of the oldest neighborhood hangouts in NW Austin. Nearly 40 draft beers flow from their taps, while the kitchen serves burgers, chips, quesadillas, salads, wings, wraps, and more. In addition, there several food trailers a very short walk away, including Super Burrito just around the corner. \-\-\-\.\-\-\- \-\-\-\.\-\-\- \-\-\-\.\-\-\- \-\-\-\.\-\-\- \-\-\-\.\-\-\- \-\-\-\.\-\-\- \-\-\-\.\-\-\- \-\-\-\.\-\-\- Use the monthly [calendar](https://www.meetup.com/i-love-austin-but-i-need-some-f-g-friends/events/calendar/) to see upcoming events at a glance.

Columbus Code & Coffee is an inclusive, informal co-working session. People of all skill levels attend, and we love it that way. Many people (optionally) bring projects to work on, and many other people (optionally) socialize the entire time. It's entirely up to you! **What to Expect at the Intro Circle** \~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~ Near the beginning of the event (1:30 pm), we do a standup: * Organizer announcements, updates, and logistics Round 1 - (7 secs max): * Your name * What you're working on * What you can help others with Round 2: * Community events you wanna plug. If none, that's cool too. Round 3: * Job opportunities you're hiring for OR announce that you are looking for one. If none, that's cool. After the introduction circle, everything is self-organized! Feel free to work alone, pair up, attend one of our workshops/presentations, or mingle!

We’re still working to get more people into these Meetups, but our goal is to give PlayYourCourt members a few social tennis outings each week in addition to your practice sessions and Challenge League matches. These Meetups are co-ed, super laid back, and all skill levels are welcome. Post your skill level and a suggested court in the comments section so we can round up as many players as we can for some tennis fun! Also, if you’re looking to meet new practice partners or play some matches and you aren’t already in the PlayYourCourt Community, you can go here to see what we’re all about and sign up: https://www.playyourcourt.com/tennis-community/columbus-oh/meetup/ If you love tennis, we’d love to have you! Be sure and watch the quick video that explains how everything works. Happy hitting! - Scott
