Parks in Zilker

By Locally Austin editorial · Data checked July 15, 2026

Zilker has 6 parks in our data, 6 of them independent. Among the 12 districts where we found any, that puts it 4th; East Austin has the most with 18.

Every entry is tagged leisure=park, not access=private in OpenStreetMap and sits within 1.3 km of the point we use as the center of Zilker. The closest to that center is Barton Springs Park, about 190 m away; the farthest is Little Zilker Neighborhood Park at 1.2 km. 5 of the 6 have a street address on record; the rest show a map point instead.

Nearby for parks

The closest districts with parks in our data are Bouldin Creek (3, 1.9 km) , Barton Hills (2, 1.9 km) and Clarksville (5, 2.3 km) . Distances are between district center points, so the walk from any one listing may be shorter or longer.

Questions people ask

How is this list ordered?
Independents first, then chains, alphabetical within each. We do not rank places and we do not publish ratings.
Why is a place I know missing?
Either it is not tagged leisure=park, not access=private in OpenStreetMap, or its map point is outside the 1.3 km Zilker radius, or it is closer to another district's center. The editorial policy explains how to report a gap.
Are the hours and addresses current?
Addresses come from OpenStreetMap as of the date on the byline. We do not publish hours; use the official site link where one exists, and the OSM record for the exact map point.
