Zilker Park

Zilker Park

Zilker Park is Austin’s big playground.

This 351-acre urban park just south of the Colorado River, is home to Barton Springs Pool, Zilker Botanical Garden, Zilker Hillside Theater, and the Zilker Nature Preserve.

There are sports fields, picnic tables, children’s playgrounds, and a miniature railroad, the Zilker Zephyr. The park hosts many of the city’s music, arts, and cultural events, including the Austin City Limits Festival (ACL).

Miles of hike-and-bike trails wind their way throughout the park, including the Butler Hike-and-Bike Trail.
