This metro park is a fantastic spot for families with toddlers and small children! The playground is thoughtfully designed with plenty of activities to keep little ones entertained for hours. The slides and climbing structures are fantastic, offering fun and safe challenges for kids to explore. The sandy play areas are a huge hit—perfect for digging, building, and just letting kids’ imaginations run wild. The equipment is in great condition as this is a new park from last year, and the whole space feels very child-friendly. One of the park’s best features is how clean and well-maintained it is. Everything from the playground to the surrounding areas is spotless, making it a joy to visit. Plus, the people here are so friendly—there’s a great sense of community, and it’s easy to strike up a conversation with fellow parents. Another huge plus is the onsite bathroom, which is clean and conveniently located—a lifesaver when you’re out with little ones! Whether you’re looking for a quick outing or a longer day of play, this park is a fantastic choice. Highly recommend for families!

First time visiting this park, my daughter forgot her backpack in this area, which I happened to take a photo for the pleasure of seeing the robot near us, We returned an hour and a half later and surprise, Her crayons were no longer inside her pencil case. They were stolen. My daughter has a very sad memory of visiting this park. If someone took them and sees my message, it really is not the monetary value, It is the affection and love that my daughter gave to these gifts she received for Christmas. Take care of your things at all times, because there is no empathy for other people's things, they must be respected. I also leave my comment about the bathrooms, too dirty and the first bathroom does not have a door, they are very neglected.

This place has everything you need to relax and enjoy nature as well as the city. There are great trees with good fruit. There are good people to meet. People are having fun and bringing cool food and products. There is very big playground things for kids to climb. There are good quality places to sit but I wish they could support my back more. There is a good view of the skyscrapers.

Great playground in the southern downtown area of Austin. It has things to do for all ages, including rock climbing walls, rope playground tower, swings, musical instruments, slides built in to the hills and fun fake grass hills to roll, climb, and crawl through. My only gripe is the homeless people walking around at 9am on a Thursday and doing drugs in the park. (Not pot, real drugs).
