Butler Metro Park

December 2025 So many great views of the city, nice paved trails, and a wonderful playground for the kids. Such a great way to take a stroll in the evening leading up to sunset.

Beautiful walking park with a great pond to watch the ducks & turtles. There's a great playground for kids, fields to play outdoor sports and great walking trails. Park is dog friendly.

Amazing experience and good food. Abit overpriced but you are paying for a great experience. There was a guy at the pit doing a great job explaining how they care for their food. Public parking 12 dollars across the restaurant on afriday Night.

Butler Metro Park is such a gem—like a smaller, more kid-focused version of Zilker. The open grassy fields are great for picnics, playing tag, or just relaxing in the shade. The playground (part of the Alliance Children’s Garden) is huge and super creative, with colorful equipment for all ages and a splash pad to beat the Texas heat. It’s in a great spot too—right next to Auditorium Shores and not far from Barton Springs. One of my favorite things here is the gorgeous view of the downtown Austin skyline, especially during sunset. You’ll also find swings, shaded seating, and wide open space to just breathe and enjoy the outdoors. Definitely recommend it for families, visitors with kids, or anyone looking to enjoy a peaceful green space with a great view of the city. That said, Like many public parks, you might see some unhoused folks around, especially at night, and the restrooms probably aren’t the cleanest (I didn’t use them, but others have pointed that out).

Hidden Gem 💎 Hidden in plain sight! Butler Metro Park is a great place to see the city. Very spacious and hugs the river. Pro Tip: This is a great place to park if you want to go to Terry Blacks, Parmer Event Center, and Long Horn Center. 10/10 Trees 🌳
