I'd love to get people together for some slacking sometime. We could do it weekly on say a Saturday morning or maybe just whenever it works out for everyone.

Anyone else interested?

There are a few parks I have in mind, if you have any suggestions don't hesitiate to say something.

I've listed three parks below where we would have plenty of room to slack. Meyer park and Cypresswood park (as you'll see on the maps) are both very close to each other (less than 1/2 mile). To give you a feel, they are both about 10minutes from the old Exposure rock gym. They're around Kuykendahl/1960 area. Both are pretty large with a creek running nearby, tracks to bike and run, as well as baskeball courts, soccer fields, and a baseball diamond, in case people want to stick around and do some other stuff.

Memorial park is off of 610South about 5minutes from the Galleria. Memorial park has plenty of running trails and all the other things the above two parks have. From what I know it's the largest park in the city. Needless to say, it's huge.

Here's maps outlining where they are:

Yea man, sounds awesome! Great to hear you made it down here and moved in.

We def. need to get together sometime and slack. I'll warn ya I've a) never walked a highline and b) am def. not a pro with the line, but gosh I love it.

I just wish more people down here knew about slacking...hardly anyone seems to have heard of it.

In case you don't see this, I sent you a PM.

Anyone else up for some slackin'?
