The park is located near Auditorium Shores and the Long Center (between Barton Springs Road and Riverside Dr). Let’s try to meet up near the big climbing hill. Do not confuse this park with the UT Baseball facility. Here is a map of the location.

You should definitely bring water with you and probably sneakers just in case we have a street roda somewhere. I hope some of you took the opportunity to train with Instructor Gaviao at his recent workshops. For those of you who have yet to meet him, I can assure you it will be a great class. There will be some great capoeira to learn and some exciting news to share so make sure to be there!
