This is a lovely outdoor location tucked into the west side of Greater Austin close to the junction of FM2222 and Loop 360. Bull Creek runs through the park, providing water for wading, dogs, kids and whatever else... Its up to you. Set amongst some huge live oak trees, there are several paths to walk for those who feel like some exercise. Enjoy the pics, they give you some idea of the place. Incidentally, I was there today and they are working on a number of improvements at the park right now.

Beautiful park and waterfalls. Plenty of nature to enjoy and take in. A definite must to visit when your in Austin.

Pretty creek and stunning rock formations! Unfortunately there was a lot of trash and people were tagging the rock formations, so sad. Parts of the trail were challenging walking on or between rocks.

Great place to visit with family for picnic or just relaxing

Awesome off leash dog park where you can get your feet wet, especially after a good rain. Can meet some cool people, everybody seems pretty chill.. Trail goes on for a few miles and is never not pretty.

It was a nice mellow hike along a waterway. some of the trails are tight, only allowing room to walk in single-file. its family-friendly - there were several enjoying dips and playing in the water. there are signs posted encouraging folks to leave nature as it was found, so if you bring a pet, bring poo bags too, and if you bring food, etc., bring trash bags/removal bags, because there are bo trashcans along the way.

Bull creek is a great place to come chill on a warm day. Bring a little beer and relax. The only downside is that when water levels are low the water gets a bit mucky. On it’s good days it’s a great spot!

Love this place! Awesome escape from the city that’s still basically in the city lol. My pup loves it and it’s beautiful year round.

When you come here, its hard to believe that you are just five minutes from Domaine. Many people write that this place is a paradise for dogs. But I also add that this is also a paradise for small children who do not yet know how to swim, but already love to splash in the water. The stream is shallow, clean and warm. It is very picturesque due to the rocks and nearby hills covered with trees. Probably the perfect place for a picnic and unity with nature. My favorite place in Austin. I recommend heartily

This is a wonderful place for families to visit. Different levels of water throughout the creek and tons of natural beauty to behold. Ive only experienced the water getting up to waist level but the water was nice and cool which is a great escape from the Texas heat. Best of all it is free! I just suggest going early (around 8-9) so that you can get a parking spot and claim your area to relax at.

A gem of a park in north Austin. Great for picnics, a little bit of bouldering and bring near the water.

Nice place but sort of crowded. Takes a lot of the sense of nature away. That happens when they pave paradise and put in parking lots.

Its a beutiful area but overuse and crowds really hurts the experience. Please quit moving to Austin. It usedto be paradise but now it exemplifies paved paradise and put up a shopping mall Sad...really sad.

Its nice, relaxed. Very close by, so definitely good. If your kain intention is to just escape in nature + basic trail hike .. then this is good. I was there last weekend, waters dried out .. buy still the middle portion (dam like) had a nice place to sit on (check pick)Cant wait to go here in rainy days .. will update

Loved this park! The trails run right along Bull Creek which is nice and wide, with lots of water and small waterfalls throughout.We only did about a 4 mile loop hike but there were plenty of places to dip your toes into the cool water (or just jump in, if you came prepared with a swimsuit ).Lots of small parking lots along the trail as well.As mentioned, the creek was pretty full but there were plenty of places you can cross along the stones. Alternatively, do bring water shoes. It was a good mix between shady and sunny sections along the trailWe didnt have any animals with us but quite a few dogs running around.Will certainly be back with towels and proper attire next time so we can take a dip after a nice hardy hike

This was one of our favorite hikes from our visit to Austin. I just wish that I had brought our swimsuits because the waterfall at the end of the hike was so inviting. It was a beautiful sunny day too. It was perfect weather in March. Pictures dont do it justice.

Nice Park to walk and hike. It is popular. Very convenient as it is close to the city. There was not much water the second time we went.

Like most things in Austin, it was a great place 20 years ago. No the park is way over used. I love dogs but to many kinda ruins it. My recommendation is to go during off peak days and times.

This place is in a neighborhood! Im in awe of the natural, free water beauty in Austin! 12 minutes from my food truck, Im coming as often as I can to enjoy!

Great place to take your dog, family, kids, etc swimming! Water is just the right temperature. Its a popular spot but theres plenty of secluded spaces. Like for my dog, she likes to be away from the crowd and other dogs. I highly recommend this place!

This is a lovely park! The water is gentle and there are some fun rocks to explore. You can jump off of them if youre brave. The sand volleyball looks well maintained. There is plenty of shade all around.

It was great and clean love coming here its always nice all year round

I love that this park has gorgeous natural views in the middle of the city! Much of the trail is alongside the water, and if youre willing to walk across in shallow areas you can also cross to hike on the other side of the stream (so consider wearing water shoes, or at least shoes with good traction for walking on slippery wet rocks). You can also spot a lot of wildlife if youre patient, including birds, turtles, small fish, and dragonflies.

Favorite spot in all of Austin for family photos and engagement sessions.

Awesome non-strenuous trails, beautiful scenery and cool clear water. My kids and I love this park for short afternoon walks and often cool down by putting our feet in the water. Theres usually not much water for parts of the trail, but with so much rain this year, the creek remains intact in most places.

Beautiful place to relax and swim. Wish it was a better parking and it could use some landscape care but it is a cheap way to pass the day. Please be careful if you have small children or have a physical impairment. The ground is uneven, it is also slippery and it has a pretty good drop.

Just a beautiful place to visit on the northwest side of Austin. I didnt get to go swimming being that its January, but I will definitely return in the summer. I know why the residents of Austin seem so content, its because they have so much public domain and so many places to spend their weekends.

It’s a nice place for hiking with beautiful views , maybe to swim a little bit. Definitely good place to come with kids. I see a lot of them there. There is a picnic area, parking, restrooms.

Beautiful park, we love walking the creek here. Wide open spaces for kites, grilling and just enjoying nature. No playgrounds or anything like that

Nice area to hike with some fun water areas and some steeper trails.

Nice views but feels kinda small and crowded to me. Maybe I was there at the wrong time.

Great place for hiking with dogs. A little rough, so be prepared for getting your shoes wet, climbing a few sections & then end with a nice picnic at the park grounds. We saw a lot of folks bring their kids. Dogs are generally on a leash, but common sense rules apply. Saw signs for off leash areas as well...Overall fantastic place to chill.

Beautiful little trial beside the water, very clean and fairly well tread so you can take a more difficult route or stay on the path. This is probably one of my favorite parks of Austin.

Really great place, we were there on Monday morning, and it was empty, quiet and peaceful. Very nice small pond with turtles , fish, huge boulders and strange flat small platos of rocks with waterfalls

Although the water was very low due to little recent rain, the hike was so beautiful and very shady in the evening.

Great park to come enjoy with family, water trails and a nice lawn. Great shade trees and close but far from highway so all you listen is water flowing and trees.

Beautiful. Love this place when it is off season is not crowded.

Lovely place after a rain. Great to walk or sit by the water

Very good to go swiming and walkng. When I was with my kids There was a snake in the water.

A lovely hike, mostly shady and flat.

Love this park! Its buzy on the weekends but during weekdays is heaven. My dogs love it as well!

Its a beautiful park with a nice trail. Unfortunately some if the recent visitors dont know how to clean up after themselves. Memorial day weekend left a ton of trash.

Fun place to take you dog hiking.Will be back.

Very relaxing and great walking just wish people would stop throwing trash.

This place is just beautiful. We were in an are where the trail wasnt very accessible but we really enjoyed the scenery. Large rocks and free flowing water. However I was nervous about all the signs warning you to never touch the water due to toxicity.

Bull Creek is one of many jewels that ATX has to offer in its vast Greenbelt! You can escape the troubles this world dishes you in a hammock and a cloud of some local trees! You can bring the family and tell at the kids while they try and drown each other! Remember they love one another to death , or leave the kids home thats why you escaped to begin with! Either way get out and in a hammock supported by a hazy cloud!

Nice place to explore with nice walking trails

Bull Creek is one of my most sacred places that I enjoy everyday! However, it saddens me to see how after the weekends it is full of trash, dirty diapers, empty beer cans, etc.. My hope is that people would understand that it is a privilege to have such beautiful places in this beautiful city, and country for that matter. Bull Creek is Mother Natures gift to humanity, lets treat it with respect.

New City new experiences !! This park is awesome love doing hiking with our dog.Very nice place.

Nice waterfall, cool park for weekend

Serene landscape. Cold refreshing water. Great place for family hikes, solo trail running and mountain biking. Free parking and easy access. Highly recommended.

I love this place! Great for wading in the water, shallow swimming and hiking.

Had an amazing time with my fiance and my dog the atmosphere is great very family-friendly we slid down the waterfalls had floaties chilling in the water theres no glass and no campfires but its an awesome place to relax for the day I suggest bringing a cooler full of drinks and snacks but that is an ice cream truck that sells very expensive snacks there a dollar fifty for a Coke can $12 for fruit cup we also caught a turtle

I loved this place

Great hidden park, variety of water features from shallow, to dog ball chasing, to waist deep to full out swimming. Shaded picnic tables and full plumbing bathrooms. Plenty of parking. Free entry.

Nice trail. Peaceful walk.

Beautiful park to come to on a sunny spring day. They have multiple areas you can park and hike around or dip your toes in the water. Dogs are also welcome here and seem to love romping around the creek itself. It is a nice area with some low level hiking around good for a walk or some trail bike riding.

Very nice trails. Trails can get confusing carry a map

My first time visiting and how stunning it was! With the recent heavy rains Austin experienced, Bull Creek was still low enough to play in but moving swiftly to keep the algae away.My son and I had a quick photo session together, it was so beautiful! Easy access, parking lot was tight but not a challenge. No paved trails that we saw. Grab your dog and your camera, it was beautiful!

This park/ trail area is adorable. It has nice restroom facilities and would be the perfect place for a family picnic and photos. The creek is an enjoyable place for kids to splash about and the trails by the creek are easy-ish (they are slick in places). If you are wanting to go up into higher elevation things change- the trails are not well maintained, are overgrown, and not clearly marked. That being said- we still had a great time and were never in any danger of being lost. It would have been nice to have markers that stated how long and where each trail takes you. When going into the higher elevations it’s important to remember that because the trails are not well maintained they are narrow with lots of loose rocks and tripping hazards- this became an issue with our 5 year old who struggles with being aware of her surrounding (that being said, she did finish the hike)

A lot to explore here...for most part there are trails in both sides of the creek. Water stays here longer in the summer than Barton Creek which is nice. Really great for dogs and kids to explore and solash in the water. The section with the waterfall always reminds me of a setting youd see in a fantasy movie...just gorgeous.

Kids had a good time and enjoyed little rock slide. Very slippery. Lots of people falling.

Love this place and its great trails. People enjoying the water on weekends need to be respectful and throw away their trash!!!

This place is what I consider a Hidden Gem of Austin. This place is great for all age groups. I take my son here all the time and we have a blast, he takes a net and bucket down there and tries to catch little fish swimming through the streams. There is an AMAZING little swimming area/hangout chill area. It has little cliff that hangs over the swimming hole that people jump off of into the water. So if you are sitting in the house wondering fun things to do, I would highly recommend giving Bull Creek a shot.

This is a hidden treasure and Austin!It’s a beautiful place get away from the city life.Great for swimming (when there is water), or great location for photographers!

Gorgeous area for trail running, hiking, fishing.

I love this place beautiful and clean. Can be crowed on a weekend or after 5. Bring water shoes and dont be afraid to get wet. Perfect summer/spring day fun. Also great for picnics and dog friendly.

The best place to explore and exercise.

One of our favorite spots in Austin, its absolutely beautiful!My 11yo boy loves it, and you can bring your dogs. There are lots of area to explore, rock climb, cool off in shallow water, picnic, or just relax. Some of the areas near parking can get a little crowded sometimes, but if you hike a little you will find lots of neat little areas. If you visit, PLEASE clean up after yourselves and your pets!!!

What a beautiful oasis tucked off of 360! This might be where all Austinites come to have family pictures taken. I can understand why. Its naturally gorgeous and perfectly picturesque! That said, I prefer going their to walk my pup in beautiful surroundings, and when it gets warmer, I look forward to taking a dip in that inviting water.

Beautiful place but crowded on weekends. Could use some garbage bins and park rangers policing people throwing garbage all over. I guess it’s something that should be improved all over Austin.

The trails along the creek are an incredible experience

The creek is a nice place to play with the kids. A lot of the grassy area is currently fenced off though.

Bull Creek would have been better had there been running water. Beautiful hike, though!

Most unexplored trail/park in Austin compared to other state parks.The park has an stream and small waterfall to enjoy the spring time.The shore is plagued with alage so caution required with crossing the stream but water is so clean and can take a dip.Parking is free on this park with attached rest room(handicap enabled).Dogs are also allowed but would suggest to check the weather before taking the trail.

Beautiful park. Theres a lot of areas in this parki with, i believe a lot of different recreational things to do. The address i sent to is where the rocks and water are just to take in the scenery. Very peaceful. Definitely a very pretty area in the northwest-ish area of Austin TX. Looking forward to going back once it gets a little warmer again.

Great spot to hike also has swimming holes for my Gs

This is a beautiful green space that is being destroyed by visitors. The sheer amount of trash that is being left strewn about the grounds of this park is equal parts disgusting and saddening. I was blown away by the lack of respect people have for nature. Im not exaggerating when I say there were truckloads of litter and garbage left throughout this park.

Very good place for family and frie ds to visit. Also dog friendly.

This place is so beautiful! Not sure how more people dont know about it and go there!Just a warning to stay on the marked trails! Many points it wanders off into a potentially Dangerous trail. Also be sure to check out the bouldering wall there if you are into climbing.

Beautiful and clean, free to enjoy, and still hanging in the “Austin Old School” vibe - which is much appreciated!!

It was absolutely beautiful. I am definitely coming back!

Love the nature here great location to swim and spend some time with friends or family

I just moved to Austin in December and Bull Creek provided my first greenbelt experience here; I couldnt have been happier! The park itself is gorgeous, with plenty of benches and tables for picnics or hanging out.After enjoying the park I took the river and started walking, finding many beautiful spots and ending up at the top of a waterfall. I leaned against a fallen tree, popped open my book and just took in the moment. I will definitely be back to explore all the park and trail has to offer.

Its a beautiful place to spend the day! Its never crowded and its always nice and clean. I think near the waterfall is my favorite spot to relax.

Great family friendly park thats centrally located. BONUS: Its FREE!

Very interesting rock formations along the creek. Lots of people walk dogs here. You can explore hiking trails for hours. Not sure about water quality since lots of dogs have fun in the creek.

Always a great place to walk. Its not over developed so there is still some challenges to be had.

The paths along the riverbend are a lot of fun to traverse. You may get your feet wet trying to cross the river, but the scenery is beautiful and its a great place to go for a walk with the dogs.

We have gone on some of the most beautiful hikes here that TX has to offer.

Swimming was cool and the kids loved the waterfalls. Trail do not appear kept up or marked well so I wouldnt waste my time with that part.

A very pleasant place, wonderful to enjoy a swimming time.

Beautiful place, Recommended for family visits.

Beautiful greens fresh air

Love the creek, but a lot of creepers and disrespectful visitors. Lots of trash on all banks.

What an awesome place to enjoy nature. Nice display of rock formations along the hill country. Dont dig the dogs swimming in the water and pooping nearby to pollute the water.

An amazing little get away from the city while still in the city.

Very spiritual like a natural spa day

Awesome.... a natural water park

Really nice, plenty of shade. Dog friendly. Creek is very clean, cant say the same about the bathrooms, though
