While Austin is filled with beautiful parks and outdoor spaces, few are quite as popular as Zilker Metropolitan Park. This 351-acre park borders the picturesque Lady Bird Lake on one side, while the smaller, natural spring-fed Barton Springs Pool on its other end offers visitors a place to rent canoes all year round. Zilker Metropolitan Park’s most unique feature is arguably the Zilker Zephyr miniature train, which chugs around the park’s perimeter. Sand volleyball courts, disc golf courses, and multi-use fields are open to the public for recreational use, while the hiking and biking trails provide hours of fun to outdoorsy visitors.

Throughout the summer, the Zilker Hillside Theater hosts concerts spanning a wide variety of genres, including the popular "Shakespeare in the Park" performances, which are best enjoyed from a blanket on the hillside!
