I visited Austin in April 2019 and spent a lot of time at the Stevie Ray Vaughan Memorial. He was one of the greatest musicians of the 20th century and certainly a tribute to the state of Texas. I love his music because he played from his heart. In Stevies own words, I use heavy strings, tune low, play hard and floor it.

A monument to never forget Austins own and what he shared with world: Music. From Texas blues, rock, soul rock he was a unique blend. The park was clean and a nice walkway to all over the park. The city did a fantastic job of cleaning up the statue after it was vandalized. Long live Stevie Ray Vaughn!

Great park OK statue water is poison for dogs

Special place if you love his music. Scenic as well

You be glad to visit the Stevie Ray Vaughan statue by the lady bird lake and with a great city view. Great walks and atmosphere.

Its located on the awesome trail in the downtown Austin. Parking lot is available next to the trail for car/bike parking. Might get hot during summers ,do carry the water bottles.#HappyTrails

Its an absolutely magnificent statue in a beautiful setting right off of Lady Bird lake

SRV is a staple of Texan culture and was a hell of a musician. The park itself is a great backdrop for a statue well worth seeing if youre a fan of the man. Make sure to pay close attention to the cool details (ie. the ring , earring, etc.)

I enjoyed seeing this statue, but wouldnt suggest seeking it out unless you are a solid Stevie Ray Vaughan fan. Greetings from Austin, Texas, USA

The memorial is set on the Colorado River with a picturesque backdrop of Austin. A fitting tribute for a Texas Blues Legend.

My Moms a huge fan! When she was visiting from out of town we had to take the river walk and get photos with the statue. She enjoyed it immensely.

Love SRV! Nice park to visit as well!

Stevie Ray Vaughan larger than life, just like he was on guitar when he was alive. Make this part of a nice walk along the river.

So glad I was finally able to stop by and see this tribute to one of absolute favorite guitar players. I’ll never forget where I was on that day when I heard. Later on saw Crosby Stills and Nash at Red Rocks that night who’s manager was also on that fateful flight. They opened with “If you can’t be with the one you love, love the one you’re with”. Very fitting tribute.

The trail to get there is pretty sad but the statue is well done and cool to see.

Nice green family spot next to the Colorado river for SRV to spend eternity

Beautiful! A must see for fans of SRV!

Love walking Lady Bird Lake when I am in Austin. Stevie Ray Vaughan is one of the many highlights of this stroll. Only issue, there arent enough public facilities.

The park and lake were amazing. Loved seeing the statue of Stevie Ray Vaughan!

Stevie hates the tower of evil behind him.

Area is clean and well maintained. Statue is easy to get to and amazing to be near. Its near or part of a dog friendly park and near the water.

This statue is a pale reminder of all we lost in that fateful helicopter crash. Stevie was one of many who represent this great city. He wasnt the first to die and leave behind a legacy of Texas soul and blues, and he wont be the last, but hell always be immortalized here for you to take in his presence, with the waterway in the background, you can here the sky crying for his absence. R.I.P. S.R. VAUGHAN

I played the blues for 30 years. SRV is very strong. I am applying for a visa but not through. Anyone can help me. Allow me to go to this place as well. Before dying, please go once.

Love this Spot

I miss SRV. I had a chance to see him live in Chicago, but studied for a now meaningless exam. He died soon after.Beautiful statue.

Awesome walkway, trail, lot of dogs around this place. We had a amazing evening.

Great to visit Stevie Ray Vaughns statue. Paid my respects and was happy to see other people there saying good things and sharing their thoughts about him. RIP SRV.

Really beautiful statue for one of the best guitarists of all time. Right on the edge of the river.

Great to see such a wonderful tribute to an absolutely fantastic part of American and Texas blues and rock musical history. Stevie Ray Vaughn is truly a legendary performer. A beautiful place and is kept up well. Glad to see people have respected the SRV statue long after it has been up and he has been gone.

Nice place for a morning walk to watch the sun rise

Nice statue overlooking the lake. Take some time to walk around town lake as well.

Must see thing to do and see in Austin!

Lovely park and nice trail for walking, biking, running, and taking in the Austin skyline.

Nothing defines Austin better than SRV on the shores of Town Lake. Yes Town Lake. It will always be Town Lake to me

SRV, a nice memorial to a great musician whose time was cut too short. I’m so grateful for the songs he played and for the voice he found within.

Beautiful space

One of my all time favorites

Its nice and peaceful

I love the statue on TBE trails where I walk. I go early in the morning for exercise before it gets really hot.

Never gets old. I will always love and miss SRV

Great views of downtown Austin and relaxing natural environment

I love Austin

When the rain bouncing off the edge of my hat. I look up and to see a statue so well respected and taken care of by people whom have felt the blues themselves time to time really is proven here. The respect Austin Texas takes In fighting for the arts is an act all in its own. Amazing place. #MUFASAMUSTLEARN

Sweet place to chill at night look at the view

Nice views and lots of dogs to pet

Its the guitar man! Park was well kept and clean.

The statue is pretty true to form. For the most part I do love it.

Pretty cool there wasnt any tourists around when I saw it, just a lot of runners.

When my favorite places to just sit and watch the sunset or watch the dogs play in the park. I walk a lot along the trail system here and I always stop at this statue, (it’s my halfway point). I just hope they keep the entire area the same way and don’t change things up too much I constantly see slight changes here and there, yes improvements are good but major changes are not favorable.

When youre in Austin, your definitely have to check out the Stevie Ray Vaughan Statue! Its a great place to reminisce. Hed play at the parks a lot in Austin. One of the best Texan musicians ever!!!

Hes still there overlooking the city.

Finally was able to get to Austin for one of the SXSW events. While many were there for all the entertainment, I was there to see where this Blues Legend made his mark on the music world.The statue stands along the river and is easy to get close to. Only if its flooding will you not be able to get some pictures.Make sure this is one of your stops in Austin when you come here, you wont be disappointed.

Its just a statue. I love SRV, so I had to take a picture here. Apparently every tourist does and locals are offering their support

Iconic statue in Austin. Take a walk along the trail and stop for a pic.

Beautiful statue and great photo op with view of the lake and the Austin skyline.

Great memorial tribute statue for on of the all time guitarists!

Its just a statue, but cool to see anyway

Beautiful it was well worth going 300 miles out of my way to have seen his statue.

Beautiful place to have a good time

Great musician. Glad he is remembered

Quintessential Austin. This iconic statue on The Hike and Bike trail near the S 1st bridge stands tall and proud enduring Austin is bathed in his omnipresent rock and roll glow. Take a picture during a pretty day, but please dont get run over by the hikers or bikers. Seriously.

Beautiful statue of a legend

If you are a SRV fan it’s a must see nothing special around it other than a trail but a must see if in Austin

If youre a fan of Stevie Ray Vaughan, then this is a required pilgrimage. Its a decent walk from the nearest parking lot, but the surrounding park makes that trip quite nice.

One of the greatest! ♡

This is my favorite place to take my dog, my favorite part of this park is how they can actually play in the water and play with other dogs and socialize without any restrictions I love awesome park this is truly dog city.

I didnt have the patience to read through all of the comments but how could anyone give One Star to the Stevie Ray Vaughan statue. He will go down in history as one of the greatest guitar players to come out of Austin.

A Beautiful Tribute to SRV!

The GOAT with a great trail. took a lime scooter over to see it.

Stevie Ray Vaughan and Austin as a back drop Its allways a perfect pic even if you have to get someone to hold up a scooter just to use its headlights to get that pickture

Nice park, lovely view. Great place to come and commune with the Holy Ghost of Blues Rock.

Great legend from the great state of Texas!

Very nice dog park, leash and no leash here

Amazing sight on downtown Austins high rises.

Great spot to relax in the park.

Stevie Ray Vaughan the blues guitar made famous in Austin Texas is memorialized in a very simple sculpture dated 1993 by Ralph Helmick... Despite Stevies (SRVs) life being cut short (only age 35) by a tragic helicopter crash outside East Troy, Wisconsin, August 27th 1990... His legacy leaves a LONG shadow through the ages! SRV was hands down the most lightning fast precision blues/rock guitar player of all time and modern guitar players still look back to his amazing tallent to draw some sweet licks for their own music today. Stevies career was just exploding before that fateful night. He will forever live on through his greatest hits like Tightrope Pride and Joy Texas Flood and so so many more... He will always be deeply missed- BMP

Good spot see the Austin skyline and hike/walk around.

One thing off my bucket list.Had a great time.The background of downtown Austin was awesome.R.I.P. STEVIE.

My favorite singer

Love this place is it looks very unique

10/10 would look at statue again.

If you like legends there is one in bronze at lady bird lake. A must see

This statue is the perfect tribute to both Stevie Ray Vaughn and the city of Austin. It makes me so proud to take my dog to the park and see it. I see it when Im kayaking and running. Its awesome.

Its a statue of stevie ray vaghan.

Its in a beautiful park right on the river. Parking is limited.

Its home

Because Stevie Ray Vaughan is worshippable God so why not have a statue.

Beautiful view. Good guy.

I take all my out-of-town friends here because most of them like Stevie Ray Vaughan. I think its excellent that we have this statue. The first time I saw it was actually on a first date. I was actually here in Austin the day his plane crashed, though I didnt live here yet, so I kinda have this special connection with Stevie Ray Vaughan and Austin.

It’s a statue. The faces always look a bit creepy to me. The location is great and the view of downtown Austin is phenomenal.

I like this park, its really nice come evening with low light and cool breeze. You can use the street lights to recharge your phone if you brought a cord and have a light with a plug on the button.

The path that runs by here is nice, beautiful, and heavily utilized. The statue itself is pretty simple.

Old School Austin

Would have love more detail to the statue...the area wasnt as clean as it should be the time we were there....and SRV quit drinking and doing drugs years before he passed, God delivered him....and through rehab and AA he stayed clean and sober...watch his videos and youll see him Thank God personally he is ALIVE AND WELL......thus the title Mr. Clean on one of his bootlegs....he was a Christian....love the tribute...but he was born and raised in Oak Cliff in Dallas TX...hoping they get this tribute up for him and Jimmie quickly.....they should have done it years ago...so TY Austin for honoring Stevie....idk if he would have liked the huge lifelike statue....because he was humble...probably preferred something much smaller and not a statue of himself....he sure wouldnt want anyone calling him a GOD or a prophet....if you dont believe me...go listen to all his interviews...he speaks about such in several...

One of a few statues in Austin, but this specific one, right in the middle of an off leash dog park, is the most iconic with great views of the city.

This is a great landmark of Austin. SRV was such an amazing musician. He helped Austin become the live music capital that it is today. The statue is located on the south shore of Lady Bird Lake along the trail. This is a great spot for pictures with the Austin skyline behind Stevie. The statue itself is beautiful and portrays SRV wonderfully.

Amazing view, great place for running, relaxing, walking your dog. This place is great for some time outside

Nothing really special sbout it...

Nice place to see the skyline.

Have not been there but I feel it is very fitting for a magnificent musician.
