Best Place to Play in a Fountain

Brushy Creek Lake Park

Just a short drive north of Austin is a hidden, 90-acre treasure of a park – a free treasure of a park. In addition to bike trails, a sand volleyball court, picnicking areas, and a playground, there’s a water playscape open 10am to 8pm, April through September. So, after heating up with a bike ride on the trails, kids can cool down while dancing in the fountains. Families can enjoy quieter pursuits as well: There’s a nature trail, a fishing area, and a labyrinth.
