| Your Guide to Austin’s Garrison Park Neighborhood |
|  | Garrison Park. (Kelsey Bradshaw/City Cast Austin) |
| Austin’s Garrison Park neighborhood in South Austin runs from South First Street to just west of West Gate Boulevard, between Stassney Lane and William Cannon Drive. | | While small, the neighborhood is home to some of the city’s best eats and a really great park: | | | Don’t just take my word for it — LeRoy and Lewis Barbecue has a Michelin star. The barbecue joint, 5621 Emerald Forest Drive, is a must-visit on your Austin barbecue journey. Get the jalapeño cheese chorizo, beef fat potato chips, and the kale caesar slaw with your brisket, barbacoa, or pulled whole hog. The restaurant is also known for its burgers, which are perfectly salted if you ask me! | | | Remembering DK Sushi & Seoul Korean Restaurant exists when I’m craving sushi is a treat every time. The small restaurant, 6400 S. 1st St., has been around since 1993 and for good reason. The sushi is reliable — it’s delicious every time. Bonus: The restaurant has a section where you can sit on the floor! | | | Plush with rows and rows of trees, Garrison Park at 6001 Manchaca Road feels like a small oasis. It’s tucked away off the side of the road in a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it spot. Beyond a pretty sizable playground is room for picnicking, courts for basketball, and a small trail. The park’s city-run pool opens April 27. |
