The park is the permanent home of Eeyore’s Birthday Party, a historic Austin festival that began in 1963.
It is one of the oldest parks in the Austin city park system.

The park was historically used for public gatherings and university-affiliated social events as early as the mid-20th century.
Eastwoods Neighborhood Park is a historic 3.5-acre urban green space located in the North University district of Austin. The site is notable for hosting the annual Eeyore's Birthday Party, a long-standing local tradition involving music and costumed celebration. The park terrain features a winding creek and significant tree canopy coverage. Recreational facilities include tennis courts, a basketball court, and a multi-age playground area. It serves as a central recreational hub for the surrounding residential neighborhood near the University of Texas campus. The park remains open daily for public use.
The stone bridge crossing Waller Creek provides the most scenic view of the canopy.
Bring a picnic blanket to utilize the large grassy hills near the creek.
