At the heart of the city is Zilker Park. Just off Town Lake, it encompasses Barton Springs Pool, soccer fields, sand volleyball and acreage of open grass for kites, kids, and coolers! People bring dogs and babies, radio controlled planes, footballs and frisbees, hula hoops and yoga mats to Zilker. The skyline of Austin is in the distance. This is... More

I had never been here before, just went on a whim, and now I wish I had planned a day of it. The springs look awesome, I can't wait to go one day. We ate our lunch at a picnic table that was just under a rocky cliff, awesome views. We also took the kids to the playground, which has... More

Other than the huge open space for relaxing, pic-nicing or just hanging with friends, there's access to an awesome lake for paddle boarding, canoeing, etc. There are load of trails for biking, running and walking. There is an amazing pool. You can spend an entire day exploring this park. It's awesome!

The wee bugs love it and we feel like it is one of the cleanest parks I've ever been too! Really enjoy it and you will too. It's one of the first parks we've seen that features 'musical' instruments built in as toys. Awesome!

Large park with a train that takes you around. Be aware that the train ride will shut down early if there aren't too many people around. The natural waters of the Barton Springs pool are wonderful. Its incredible to see a natural pool the size of more than two Olympic pools. Its just $3 apiece to walk down to the... More

I'm a photographer and love to capture the small world inside plants and flowers that most people don't see. Highly recommended.
