Beautiful island of nature in the city. Planned future site of $4 Million "transit center" funded by TxDOT. Will probably be constructed in 2018 according to my sources. This will mainly be a showplace for the underwhelming MetroRail system that terminates on 4th St between the convention center and Brush Square. I worry that they will kill the beautiful old trees, and all for what? If you want to spend all that cash why not just make a short subway line and put the transit center above it? A subway through downtown can be extended westward from the current terminus all the way to the Amtrak station and U-P rail line on the west side of Lamar about a mile west. The city needs a major upgrade to MetroRail: improvements are scheduled but underfunded; the plans indicate the result will be insufficient to meet demand into the next decade, but then CapMetro has always done this on the cheap, refusing to make the financial commitment needed to make Austin a transit-oriented city. Meanwhile Brush Square is a welcome patch of green surrounded by a shocking explosion of tall residential buildings for the ultra-wealthy 1%.

Beautiful site with two historic houses. Well maintained. Open to the public. Guides available to give information about the former residents. Great to have this lovely piece of history in downtown Austin still.

A nice little park in a sea of concrete and steel. Some nice trees for shade or climbing are here. Some of the trees look easily climbable too, if that kind of thing is what you're into.

Good place to walk your dog in a nice patch of grass.

By Austin standards, not a bad little park. It is a park that exists. Which is so much better than most of the downtown can offer.

Worth a visit: small building in a nice setting, and very interesting to hear O Henry's troubled history from the museum staff

Really boring. Nothing to see there. Just a little square of trees and grass. No benches, no restroom, no water fountain,.

Went to a conference, they server lunch in Brush square. It's a small park. without much else.

Nice place for a free from the city bustle moment. But smoking isn't allowed and it's small

I love O. Henry and was delighted to visit his house. Well done for both houses.

Just swinging by on a walk. Lots of interesting historic markers in the area.

Was here for a business trip. Good area for food and entertainment

I'm security officer here and it's the best job I've ever had.
