"The Austin Parks and Recreation Department oversees more than 17,576.06 acres of land containing 206 parks, 12 preserves (sanctuaries for native plants, native animals and unique natural features), and 26 greenbelts (parkland on creeks and canyons). Parks are open for public use each day from 5am - to 10pm unless otherwise posted."
One of Mama Camp's favorite things to do is to pack a picnic and head over to one of the many Austin parks. Today the park was overrun by a school's 5th grade science class. It was the last day of school and they ate lunch and conducted "The Mentos and Soda Experiment" (wikipedia information).
Here it is in action:
The campers made some friends and the teachers let us hang out and watch the experiment. You never know who you are going to meet around Austin.
