One of the most iconic and beloved destinations in Austin, Zilker Park spans over 350 acres, all dedicated to fun, leisure and beauty. With a backdrop of the city’s magnificent skyline, get your friends together to enjoy the picnic facilities, bike/canoe rentals, a disc golf course, a large playground, the Zilker Zephyr train, Barton Springs Pool and the vast grounds of greenery.

The massive park is a playground of outdoor activities and home to annual events like the ACL Festival and Blues on the Green. Stroll the stunning Umlauf Sculpture Garden and Zilker Botanical Gardens, rent a canoe or kayak and paddle the tranquil waterways (including Lady Bird Lake), and cool off in the Barton Springs pool. Or just bring a blanket, some Topo Chico and plenty of snacks for a leisurely picnic in the park.
