Parks Places Map
Parks in Austin:
Hippie Hollow Park
Get there early, around 9 AM, to snag a good spot and enjoy the peaceful vibe before it gets crowded. Trust me, it's worth it!
I recommend exploring the trails around the park – they're often overlooked but offer some stunning views and a nice escape from the crowds
McKinney Falls State Park
I suggest arriving right when the park opens at 8 AM. It was so peaceful and I got some great photos before the crowds rolled in.
Barton Creek Greenbelt
Muller Lake Park
I suggest visiting Muller Lake Park in the early morning around 8 AM. It’s less crowded and you can enjoy the peaceful vibe before the day heats up.
If you're into photography, the sunset views around 6 PM are stunning. I recommend sticking around for that golden hour!
Auditorium Shores at Town Lake
Emma Long Metropolitan Park
I suggest getting there early, around 8 AM, to snag a good parking spot and beat the crowds. It gets packed fast, especially on weekends.
Zilker Park
I suggest visiting the Barton Springs Pool early around 8 AM if you can. It gets packed fast plus there's a small entry fee—avoid the lunch rush and save some time by swimming before the crowds show up!
