Sprawling park that is an urban oasis in the city of Austin. We enjoyed riding bikes along Barton Creek and along the Colorado River. This is also home to the Barton Springs Pool and the Botanical Garden.

Been to this place at 7th July 2023 Visited this place with friend on weekdays and found teh parking to be free. the place have many natural trails for running / walking. Also has rowing facilities, and park and places for picnic. Also it has landscaped botanical garden. Pet friendly place, this attraction is good gor locals and for tourist who are on long vacations. Enjoy this attraction which is spread accross a huge area.

Zilker Park around Lady Bird Lake is a shady, beautiful area just south of downtown. I have lived in Austin 45 years, and walk the 3 mi. loop from Mopac bridge to the pedestrian bridge many many times. Have explored more all the way around the lake on my e-bike recently. Zilker Park will add value to your life and feed your Soul.

I had Zilker Park marked on my itinerary, and as I approached the area from downtown, it started to lightly rain, which wasn’t a big deal. Once I arrived in the park, and still in my vehicle, the skies opened up and it poured, for a long time! The park and neighboring attractions looked nice, but there was so much water on the streets from the rain, it was best to vacate the area.
