Llano

Llano, Texas, may be a small Hill Country town, but it punches above its weight when it comes to sports and recreation. The JLK Event Center is a local favorite, serving as the beating heart of community athletics with frequent rodeos, livestock shows, and youth sports tournaments. The nearby Moore Recreational Facility is packed with action, offering a full-size baseball diamond, soccer fields, and a high-energy multi-use court perfect for pick-up games and organized leagues. Whether you're training or just burning off steam, there's no shortage of places to move in Llano.

Golfers can tee off at the Llano River Golf Course, an 18-hole public course nestled against the river’s edge, where the scenic views almost make up for slicing your drive into the rough. With a laid-back vibe and challenging greens, it’s a favorite among locals and weekend visitors alike. Meanwhile, Badu Park and the riverfront are prime spots for basketball, paddleboarding, or casting a line in the water—all within walking distance of downtown.

Adventure-seekers won’t want to miss a trek to nearby Enchanted Rock, a massive pink granite dome that offers some of the best hiking and rock climbing in Central Texas. Back in town, the Llano River is a natural playground for kayaking, tubing, or swimming, with plenty of access points and picnic spots for a full day of fun. There’s even an annual Llano Earth Art Fest (LEAF), where teams compete in rock-stacking competitions along the riverbanks—proving that in Llano, even the rocks play sports.

And of course, no visit to Llano is complete without refueling like a champion. After a long day outdoors, head to Cooper’s Old Time Pit Bar-B-Que for a Texas-sized plate of smoked brisket and ribs, served up with a side of Hill Country hospitality. Between the sports facilities, outdoor adventures, and hearty eats, Llano is a destination that keeps your heart pumping and your belly full.
