Located in Eastwoods Neighborhood Park just north of the UT campus, this small free splash pad serves the Hyde Park and university area. Mature trees around the park help take the edge off summer afternoons.
What's on site. OpenStreetMap maps drinking water, parking at this location. No public toilets are mapped here — worth knowing before you commit to an afternoon.
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.

Splash pads close for maintenance, run short seasons and fill up on hot weekends. There are 12 other pads within 5 miles and 14 within 15. These are the ones worth the drive — ranked by shade, toilets and cost first, then by how close they are:
