Didn’t your mother tell you to go out and play? But where?
In Central Texas we’re blessed with some amazing playgrounds. We went looking for the best ones. We considered shade and restroom availability, type of equipment and its condition, and the general vibe as well as safety. We ranked our top 25 and then offered some other gems to explore.
Did we miss your favorite? Tell us at nvillalpando@statesman.com.
Remember, before you head to the playground, wear your sunscreen, wear your bugspray and know how to play safely.
Joanne Land Playground in Old Settlers Park. Nicole Villapando/ American-Statesman
1. Joanne Land Playground in Old Settlers Park
Address: 3300 Palm Valley Blvd.
Area of Central Texas: Round Rock
Features: This includes one of the largest playscapes in Central Texas plus a smaller one that is interactive using an app. The playground offers multiple slides, multiple things to climb up, climb along, multiple sets of swings for all ages, a gravity slide that is like a zip line (though that’s been offline at the manufacturer’s request). There is so much to do here.
Shade: Some tall shade trees.
Restrooms: Yes.
Anxiety level: Medium. It’s a busy place, but the playground is in a compact space. There is the hazard of the lake to worry about.
Why we love it: This playground just opened this year. You’ll find features here that aren’t anywhere else in Central Texas. For parents, it’s got a beautiful, serene view of the lake and plenty of places to sit.
Bonus: If your kid somehow gets bored here, there are six other playgrounds in the park and the water park and pool.

2. Roy G. Guerrero Colorado River Park
Address: 400 Grove Blvd.
Area of Central Texas: East Austin
Features: You’ll find so much to play on here with two big playscapes and many things to crawl on and in and around. Kids have plenty or room to run around and multiple things to climb on and swing from.
Shade: Virtually none. It’s a huge oversight on what would be a perfect playscape if it had shade structures. There are tall trees but around the edges.
Restrooms: Yes.
Anxiety level: Extremely low. This is one of the few fully gated playgrounds in Austin.
Why we love it: We love the variety of things to do here, the multiple places to sit and the dragonfly statues make us happy to sit under them. It’s a very whimsical playground.
Bonus: Plenty of fields both open and the sports variety are available in this park.

3. Brushy Creek Regional Trail Parks
Addresses: Creekside Park, 4300 Brushy Creek Road; Olson Meadows Park, 4200 Brushy Creek Road; Champion Park, 3830 Brushy Creek Road; Brushy Creek Lake Park, 3300 Brushy Creek Road; Brushy Creek Sports Park, 2310 Brushy Creek Road; Twin Lakes Park, 204 E. Little Elm Trail
Area of Central Texas: Cedar Park
Features: These six parks along Brushy Creek act as one big park. Each has its unique playscape, so you can hop from park to park. Creekside Park has two quiet playscapes by the pool with slides and bouncy cars and diggers. Olson Meadows two offers tree-covered playscapes, swings and horses to ride. Champion Park is dedicated to dinosaurs with large skeleton models to climb and a dinosaur dig that is shaded. Brushy Creek Lake Park has a large playscape and sand box, but is know for its big, gated splash pad. Brushy Creek Sports Park has the best playscape of these parks with tons of ropes and other things to climb on, plus it’s totally shaded. Twin Lakes Park is the site of the YMCA, so there isn’t a playscape that isn’t connected to the YMCA.
Shade: Most have some level of shade, some are completely shaded.
Restrooms: Yes! At every playscape.
Anxiety level: Very little. Because each playscape is small, it’s easy to watch children.
Why we love it: We love that each one has its own personality, but each is a great playscape on its own. When you spend the day moving up and down Brushy Creek Road, you’ll have very happy, yet tuckered out kids.
Bonus: Did we mention the amazing splash pad? And that there’s dinosaurs to crawl and on and dig for?

Play for All playground in Round Rock. Nicole Villalpando/American-Statesman
5. Play for All

Area of Central Texas: Round Rock
Features: This truly is a playground for all. It’s got many tactile things for kids with sensory differences as well as the ability for kids in wheelchairs to roll onto the playscape and other structures.

Shade: Yes, there are shade structures and trees.
Restrooms: Yes.
Anxiety level: Very low. It’s completely gated.

Ramsey Park has been redone. Nicole Villalpando/American-Statesman
6. Ramsey Neighborhood Park
Address: 4301 Rosedale Ave.
Area of Central Texas: Central Austin
Features: This park has been beautifully redone with different kinds of playscapes for all ages. There’s so much to climb on and crawl around. We love that the younger kid playscape is not the plastic lesser playground. Instead the little kids also have ropes to climb on and logs to conquer. While we miss the old big tall slide, a new, smaller slide fulfills that need.
Shade: Some. It could use more.
Restrooms: Yes.
Anxiety level: Very little. You can easily see where your child is.
Why we love it: It isn’t the same old playscape that can be found at every school and every other neighborhood around there. It’s a nod to nature and totally fun.
Bonus: The park also has a pool, tennis courts, a basketball court and a large field for soccer.

Restrooms: Yes.
Anxiety level: Medium. It’s a busy park, but it’s gated.
Why we love it: It’s good for all ages, but especially for older kids who might get bored at other playscapes, plus it’s across the street from the Thinkery and the Mueller Alamo Drafthouse and many new restaurants and stores.
Bonus: Oh, come on. We know you come here to feed the ducks.
Springwoods park has amazing trees that provide shade. Nicole Villalpando/American-Statesman
8. Springwoods Neighborhood Park
Address: 9117 Anderson Mill Road.
Area of Central Texas: Northwest
Features: It has two large playscapes, but more importantly, it’s the setting of this playground. There are trees everywhere. Even though it’s right off Anderson Mill Road, you feel like you are in the middle of the forest. It’s a relaxing oasis with plenty of things to do including tennis, a walking trail, swings and a forest-theme playscape with a dinosaur and frog to ride.
Shade: Yes! The trees lower the temperature significantly.
Restrooms: Yes.
Anxiety level: Very low. It’s easy to watch kids in this quiet playground.

Shade: Some. The trees really help.
Restrooms: Yes, in the recreation center.
Anxiety level: Low. It’s gated.
Why we love it: You can’t find this playscape anywhere. Plus you feel as if you’re going back in time as you step through the pavilion into an old-fashioned town.

The playground at the Grove at Southpark Meadows. Nicole Villalpando/American-Statesman.
10. The Grove at Southpark Meadows
Address: 9500 S. Interstate 35.
Area of Central Texas: Far South Austin
Features: One very large playscape for the big kids has many different kids of things to climb up and move through. A smaller playscape for the littler kids isn’t too shabby, either. It also offers a little house, too.
Shade: Yes, there’s great trees here.
Restrooms: Yes, in the neighboring restaurants, but you have to be a patron.
Anxiety level: High. It would be very easy to lose track of your child or have her run off and not know which direction she went.

Bonus: Someone is always ready to play here.

11. Zilker Metropolitan Park
Address: 2100 Barton Springs Road
Area of Central Texas: Central
Features: There’s a lot going on in a small space. You’ve got a whole sunken younger kids playground, a firetruck to climb on, a series of ramps that lead to slides in the large playscape that crosses over the Zilker Zephyr train. You can make music in the instrument section and swing on the swings. We know most longtime Austinites expected this playground to be No. 1. While there’s a lot to do here, the main playscape is really just a series of ramps to run up. We also saw a lot of wear and tear such as peeling paint that needs to be addressed. It really is beginning to feel dated. Play here for nostalgia’s sake.
Shade: Some from the trees, though it depends on the time of day.
Restrooms: Yes.
Anxiety level: High. It is very easy to lose a kid here. Kids can easily climb over to the other side of the tracks without parents knowing. Plus, it’s often overcrowded and unmanageable. For kids who struggle with sharing or who don’t like sensory overload, this isn’t the place for them.
Why we love it: It’s all about the Zilker Zephyr train for us. Ride around the park in a miniature train? Yes, please.
Bonus: You can drink out of the head of a lion at the water fountain.
Katherine Fleischer Park has a cool playhouse. Nicole Villalpando/American-Statesman
12. Katherine Fleischer Park
Address: 2106 Klattenhoff Drive
Area of Central Texas: Far North Austin
Features: This park in the Wells Branch neighborhood is an unexpected gem. The playground offers a lot of different types of playscapes, but our favorite is the miniature two-story house that feels like a treehouse.
Shade: Some. Trees keep about half this playground in shade.
Restrooms: Yes.
Anxiety level: Low. It’s a large area but easy to see kids.
Why we love it: It’s just got this amazing vibe to it, and where else can you play in a two-story house in the middle of a playground?
Bonus: This park comes with a miniature frontier town.
The cool rock wall at Southeast Metropolitan Park is one of the playscapes here. Nicole Villalpando/American-Statesman
13. Northeast and Southeast Metropolitan Parks
Address: 2703 E. Pecan St., Pflugerville, and 4511 Texas 71, Del Valle
Area of Central Texas: Pflugerville and Del Valle
Features: We grouped these two Travis County parks together because they are very similar. They both have two sets of large covered playscapes in between ballparks that are by restrooms and concession stands. The playscapes have some great climbing structures. They also sit on cushy rubber surfaces that we love. No pebbles and no mulch to get into kids’ shoes.
Shade: Yes.
Restrooms: Yes.
Anxiety level: Very low. The playscapes are in a small area with easy sight lines.
Why we love it: We love that cushiony floor.
Bonus: The Southeast one has a large climbing wall in between the two sets of playgrounds.

Shade: It could use more.
Restrooms: There are outhouses if the school isn’t open.
Anxiety level: Some. It’s right near the street.
Why we love it: It’s a great example, like Ramsey, of what a neighborhood can do to improve its park.

Features: Harper Park has a large playscape with many things to climb, including trees, and swings including a bench swing. El Salido offers some unusual things to spin around in and swing from. We love the quaintness of Pecan Creek Park, which you might pass by and never see. All three are close together and offer different things to do.
Shade: Not much, except from trees and a shade covering at Pecan Creek.
Restrooms: Only at El Salido, which has a pool.
Anxiety level: Very little.
Why we love it: We love the variety of equipment and the little bridges to get to the playgrounds.
Bonus: We’re ready to climb the tree structure at Harper and swing on the bench swings.
