Earlier this month we shared our initial list of things we are thankful for in Austin, Texas. And as there are so many things to be grateful for, we are continuing our list for you below.
On behalf of our entire staff at Le Montreaux apartments in North Austin, we encourage you to experience all that makes your life happy and healthy … and wish you a very memorable Thanksgiving.
Beautifully Maintained Parks
Throughout Austin, we are so fortunate to have so many parks to enjoy the great outdoors in Austin. Right now, the weather couldn’t be better to pack a picnic and plan a stroll, bike ride or hike through our region’s expansive list of Parks.
We are always impressed at the meticulously cared for recreation areas that the Austin Parks and Recreation Department continues to maintain on our behalf.
The Austin Parks and Recreation Department has been the steward of the City of Austin’s public lands since 1928. As such, they protect and maintain parkland and our urban forest. They preserve trails, and offer a variety of sports, recreation, educational enrichment, arts programs, cultural opportunities, nature and aquatic activities.

Arts & Culture
If you are fond of art and culture, you really don’t need to drive too far to soak in the splendid arts and culture scene in Austin. There seems to be an art gallery around every corner and our impressive list of museums is enviable by every standard. Two of our favorites are the Bullock Texas State History Museum and the Blanton Museum of Art.
We are so well known and appreciated for our art scene that the city is home to the Texas Film Awards and Texas Book Festival.
