This Central Austin pad in historic Clarksville features rainbow-arch sprayers with shade sails overhead and a playground close by. Its walkable neighborhood setting makes it easy to pair with a stroller loop.
What's on site. OpenStreetMap maps toilets on site, drinking water, playground alongside, parking at this location.
When to go. Peak summer highs in Austin average 97°F. Mornings and late afternoons are far more comfortable than the middle of the day, and shade is worth planning around.
How long it's open. Roughly 26 weeks a year, from May to October. Seasons shift year to year and municipal pads often close early for maintenance, so check before a long drive.
