It can end up costing you and your friends a little bit of money but is deffinitally worth it to go to Zilker Park. They have a canoe rental place in the park that is excellent to do. Take the canoe down the river that leads out into town lake. Paddle towards downtown for a different point of view of austin. Ausitn from Town Lake. Go East and you ...

An escape from the heat
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 09/25/05
Zilker park is one of the places to escape from the sizzling heat. It is known for a huge pool with cold spring water, surrounding by many trees.
Admission to the pool is $3 per adult; and $3 for parking during the weekend, which is greedy for a state with huge empty land.
Also, you need to be blind on nudes in the changing rooms. The water may be too cold for young kids.

Beautiful Park
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 09/16/05
This is a beautiful city park with lots to do and see for the whole family. It has a playground, gardens, swimming, canoeing, picnicing, disc golf, and many other features. Spring time is really nice with the wild flowers in bloom. Every time we go we have a blast and get to be close to nature in the middle of the city.

Nice place for jogging, soccer and volley ball
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 05/20/05
it is very nice going jogging along the river. I can not think of a better place for jogging.
If you like play soccer, there are plenty of people and field playing. They are playing pretty good and serious. Nice.
If you want to play volleyball, there are also many people playing there. nice court.

Realy Neat

This park has every thing you want and more. Go for a swim at Barton Springs, rent a canoe on Town Lake or check out the Botanical Gardens. There is no way to get bored. It's a popular place so make sure to get out their early on the weekends to get a good spot and parking.
