Tejano Walking Trail
Located in the Tejano neighborhoods of East Cesar Chavez and Holly near downtown Austin, this 4.9-mile self-guided trail features 22 culturally significant sites. The area has long been home to Hispanic residents, many of whom were displaced by urban development. The trail highlights places important to locals, and residents have fought hard to preserve these neighborhood treasures and stave off gentrification.
In 2012, the Tejano Walking Trail was designated a National Walking Trail. It is best toured by foot or bicycle, though many parts can be seen by vehicle. Featured sites along the trail include the Oswaldo A.B. Cantu/Pan American Recreation Center, neighborhood parks, churches, Hispanic-owned businesses, historic homes, and community murals.
