Zilker Metropolitan Park

"Most beautiful park in town, our babies love being off leash! Everyone is so sweet and friendly and we always have so much fun! God bless ATX!"

"This previous Saturday was my first visit to Zilker and the famous Barton Springs pool. This green space in the heart of Austin Texas is a must see when visiting. The trails are in great condition and nature abounds throughout. We did not get to see all that it had to offer and I feel more than 1 day is needed in this beautiful area. My only issue is the lack of regulation for things going on at the springs. Numerous women and men decided that changing clothes from their swimming attire to their street attire was a public event. I would like to say this isn't common here, but I'm not entirely sure that it is not. Other than that, what a great day!"

"Always fun things happening here and several trails connect to the park. Volleyball, lawn areas, lake access and many festivals throughout the year. One favorite of the Trail of Lights. Walk around entire park with amazing light displays, photo ops, s’mores stations, snacks and beverages for sale. Very affordable at less than $10 per person. Pay for parking though ahead for the holiday lights."

"Awesome park. Visited the Botanical Garden. Volunteer at the gate was very friendly and informative, as we had never been there before. The koi fish were beautiful and very friendly. Nice paths to the side to get some extra quiet time. Even though it is next to the highway the sound is not distracting. Would very much recommend going and it is absolutely worth the price of admission."

"This is such a great park. They have multiple shows and events throughout the year. From ACL to the Kite Festival. Also has trails that run around the park. Which are cool to walk the dogs on. Also has great views for downtown. Check it out and enjoy the great weather."
