I love going for a run on the trail, If I'm lucky and feeling really good, I find myself wondering down to the Congress Bridge, I usually try to jog on Zilker trail as often as I can, why? Because I try to keep up with all those healty Joggers that fly down the trail, Just as I'm feeling old, someone fly's past me, with grey hair...go figure.
This is where the Austin City Limits Music Festival is held each year. Three days, eight stages, and over one hundred bands...so Very nice. If you're just wanting to relax and see why ATX is considered one of the fittes cities, this is must visit for you. Nice trails for walking I'd leave the bike and Zilker Park is host to tons of other ...

By A Yahoo! Contributor, 04/02/06

It's on an island surrounded by streams, and the whole garden is planted with ground cover, trees and shrubs of the types which can be ...

great and laid back
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 03/25/06
Perfect place to just sit back and enjoy the weather. Laid back atmosphere and nice people, usually with their family, but enough room to get away from people if you want.
I visited the park when my sister got married. She lives in Austin.(what a beautiful state!!) We had a picnic there for out of town guests and members of the wedding party. What a great choice!! My favorite thing about the park were the BIG, gorgeous trees. My daughter and brothers climbed up on the huge limbs. I took the most beautiful ...
this place is beautiful! you can sit on the hillside and soak up some sun, and when you get too hot, just walk down and jump into the natural spring swimming pool that is always the same temperature year round. i went there with my husband on our first anniversary, and we had a lovely time. a perfect place to read a book, catch an afternoon nap, or ...

Let's Go Fly A Kite
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 09/29/05
We visited this beautiful park earlier this year when they had their annual "kite flying contest." It was a gorgeous day, and I have never seen so many unique kites and friendly people (gorgeous texan sky to boot as a back drop!). You really got a sense of a strong community there. It was a great day that left a lasting impression. Never wanted to leave!
