Best of Austin, unranked
Parks in Austin
76 parks across 12 districts, 76 independent and 0 chains. East Austin has the most with 18.
Parks are the second-largest category here and the most evenly spread: every one of the twelve districts has at least a few, and Mueller and East Austin have the most. Austin’s park system is large for a city its size, and the central neighborhoods get the best of it, from the big lakeside parks to the pocket greens the newer developments were required to build.
A place is listed if OpenStreetMap tags it as a park and it is not marked private. That includes the named city parks, neighborhood greens, the small triangles at street junctions that mappers bothered to name, and the trailheads and access points along the greenbelts. It leaves out school grounds, private courtyards and anything mappers tagged as a garden or a nature reserve rather than a park. Some entries have no street address because parks often do not have one; for those we show the map point instead.
The city’s own parks department site is the source for hours, closures and amenities. We link the OSM record and, when mappers recorded it, the official page.
