Liz Carpenter Splash Pad

If you got kids, this is an excellent park for them to play in. Lots of stuff to climb, crawl under, jump over, slide, ect. There’s a splash pad as well- it’s nice looking and simple, but nothing special. There’s also plenty of seating areas and shade, and swinging benches to relax on. Overall really nice and it’s kept clean, plus you got the beautiful Austin skyline in the background.

Liz Carpenter Splash Pad is a part of the Butler Metro Park in Austin. The splash pad fountain entertains people both day and night. Kids love this place. Beside the Splash pad there are seating arrangements to keep an eye to our little ones. At night the fountain performs a colorful light show.

Sometimes the splash pad is closed for maintenance. Luckily when we visited, it was open.

Very fun park and fountains! 1.5yo had a blast!

Edit: today 06/07/2023 the fountains are closed for maintenance

Went with my toddler to check out the splash pad. I parked on the Barton Springs side and luckedout finding a space. Next time I'll park on the Riverside side.

There were plenty of fountains shooting, lots of places to sit and no shade. We walked up the hill for a better view of the skyline. The kid had a blast!

Love this place
So beautiful
So Green

Amazing space, the kids had a blast. Great job City of Austin Parks Dept. upgrading and maintaining the park and fountain.

Such a fun place to bring the family especially on a hot day. Make sure to being sunscreen and snacks to make the whole experience a fun one! You can also go to the super fun for all ages park next to it and have fun on the slides, swings, music station and maybe even play a game of life size chess. There are foam blocks now that the kids can stacks and demolish while playing in the water. Small tip: Go during the week if you want it to be less crowded.
Enjoy!

My only complaint, how we small, is it would be nice to have more shade fir us to sit under while the kids splash. The pad itself is wonderful and the new park is awesome!

This "pad" should more appropriately be named "pond," for the artificial pond that has been reclaimed by the adjoining...well, pond, by an abundant and varied wildlife. Don't get me wrong, the water features are refreshing ---partcularly during our scorching summers (Ask my grandkids.)---but that's only half of its appeal. For nature lovers, it's only a hop, skip, an a jump to an amazing experience.

This place is awesome with the new stuff they added for the kid's! We all loved it there and always have fun.

my little one loves this place. she likes to come at night. The lights and all make this place great. freindly kids and good people here
