The views are amazing and breathtaking. Came here with a group of friends and had a highlight of our trip. The river provides some well needed cool air, furthermore there is a wall of 5-10 water fountains. There is a riverside workout area with everything you could really need for a nice scenic core workout. The grass was very nice and if we would’ve had more time we probably would’ve stopped to lay down.Bottom line: you need to go here before you die, I’ve never had such a great view of a downtown before.

Lots of cool people just hanging out doing their thing. Friendly folks you can walk up to and socialize with, drink a glass of wine or beer with and relax.

Beautiful park with water views. Many of the people out here are exercising, which is really cool or either just relaxing on the grass. Its very quiet and laid-back out here. They also have a bridge that you can walk across. In addition to relaxing they have canoes, paddle boats and kayaks for people to use on the river.

Smack dab in the middle of downtown Austin, just on the South shore line. Not as much parking as before but it is still free to park in most places.

I actually went to a town hall meeting with Elizabeth Warren at this location.The public water supplies were ice cold and this set up should be instituted on a permanent basis if not yet done.Public bathrooms ( portopotties ) were plenty in number and were kept in good condition.Lakeside:views of downtown, people watching, Hiking, biking, scootering, sitting & relaxing, tossing frisbees, etc.Its a perfect settingLarger than youd expect as you approach.Funky Tiki Gazebo!...if youre from town, or a student, or visiting from parts unknown...Come and hang out at the shores!
