After a week in Dallas, visiting many SRV landmarks, a trip to Austin was essential on my pilgrimage of this much-missed guitarist.
The statue is situated in a lovely park, on the shores of Lady Bird Lake. Quite easy to find, and for me, all the way from the UK, certainly worth the wait.
Beautiful bronze statue approx 10ft tall on a plinth. Great photo opportunities for like-minded fans of Stevie.
Lots of friendly people in the area who are happy to take a photo for you.
Glad I visited. Really great that Austin honours him.

I traveled with my mom, and she was a fan of Stevie Ray Vaughan, so we had to try and find that statue. It is right on the river, which is fun, but it is somewhat of a walk to get down there. There are a lot of people in the park too, so be careful of bikers, dogs, and other pedestrians.

Very well done statue of the great bluesman, SRV. I teared up when I saw the picks that had been placed in his hand. If you are a guitar player ot a fan of the blues, it is a must while in Austin. South of downtown across the river.

If you are a music fan, particularly of rock and roll and the blues, then it seems a stroll over to the Stevie Ray Vaughan statue is a must when in Austin. We enjoyed listening to the music of SRV on our drive into Austin from San Antonio which set the mood. After a morning at the state capitol, we strolled through downtown Austin, crossed the river, and found ourselves at the statue. A place for a few photographs and to remember this great guitarist.

Stevie Ray statue is a nice tribute to a true GREAT bluesman on the lake- he was definitely an Austin icon. The last time I saw him play was at Aquafest at Auditorium shores. The memorial has a lot of meaning to me.

Stevie Ray! I had to go and pay my respects. His music is his legacy and still sounds as fresh and meaningful as it did in the day. I climbed up on him and planted a kiss and told him I loved his everlasting sound.

Not much to say. It is a statue. It is of SRV. It is nice. Don't be in that area alone. Nice hike/bike trail. Pretty good restroom nearby.

One can stroll and enjoy his statue. His music, talent, and passion for performing and sharing his music personify Austin. Enjoy taking pics with you family and friends.

A well deserved tribute to a great local musician. Austin can list it's garage bands and lay claim to the music capital of the world, but SRV was a true musician and Austin should be proud of his contribution to the local music scene. He played with the greats....he was one of the greats.
