Zilker Metropolitan Park Playscape Shelter

What a wonderful public park for everyone. Large spaces for adults to play sports in, plenty of sports fields. Large playgrounds for kids with swings, slides and everything in between. If you want there the famous Barton natural spring to swim in, great ways to beat the summer heat.

Super nice spot for kids to play. They have play areas for different age groups which is nice. Trash cans are located all across which is nice and they also have many benches where you can enjoy a family picnic! There’s also place where you can play ball, run around or play with your dog. Requires a bit of maintenance on some of the play installations for the kids because some of them are either broken or non-functional or dirty.

A really fun place for kids! They have slides, swings and muscial instruments made ouf of wood. My daughter kept saying "so much fun" during her entire time here! The slides are connected to each other with multiple bridges and gives kids an opportunity to run around! There is also a big fire engine/truck that kids can sit on and pretend to drive. Ample parking space near this play area if you are also planning to checkout the Barton springs pool nearby.

This was the first place we visited in Austin and it was worth it! This park has so many different things in the spring and summer they have a little train that goes through the playground is huge with lots of stuff they have an instrument section you can walk along the river which is super beautiful and so many turtles 🐢 🤩

A fun and unique playground for kids all ages! This playground gives off classic park vibes. Bring your kids for just this and you can’t miss. So many things are around here as well. The Barton Springs or Barkin Springs is a few feet away so you can see some amazing dogs. The Barton Springs Pool is next to that so you can go there as well. A great place to shower and lounge on the hill. They have lifeguards and the water isn’t deep in certain parts for kids. The best area for parking, swimming, boating, and all around fun.
