Natural Springs, swimming, diving board. 68 degrees year round. No food or drink inside pool area. Zilker Zepher - mini train for kids. Nice playground with all the bells and whistles. Hiking greenbelt to the west.

I hope that the weather is nice, so you can take a dip in the pool or rent a canoe, but either way Town Lake (aka Lady Bird Lake) is the heart of Austin and has an amazing park.

Jump in the springs to cool off.

Voted best place to escape the Texas Heat dating back to the Native Americans that loved this spot.
