2. [Waterloo Park Playground](https://ourplayday.com/places/waterloo-park-playground-austin) (playground, Austin). Nature climbers, a grass maze and a slide that runs down the hillside under the trees.
3. [Skyline Park Easton](https://ourplayday.com/places/skyline-park-easton-austin) (playground, Austin). Tower climbers, slides down the hillside, a zipline and swings, so older kids have plenty to take on.
4. [Jessie Andrews Park](https://ourplayday.com/places/jessie-andrews-park-austin) (playground, Austin). A play area under a giant octopus sculpture, with built-in tables for a picnic once kids are done climbing.
5. [Alliance Childrens Garden](https://ourplayday.com/places/alliance-childrens-garden-austin) (playground, Austin). Climbing walls, sand play and slides a short walk from the lake, so the diggers and the climbers are both covered.

8. [Barton Springs Pool](https://ourplayday.com/places/barton-springs-pool-austin) (pool, Austin). A three-acre pool fed by natural springs and cool all year, with shady grass slopes to spread out on. It gets deep, so keep small swimmers close.

## About this list

Every place here is a listing on Play Day, and a place is listed only when something positive is known about it for kids. Each listing carries the kid facts (high chairs, changing tables, kids' menus, wheelchair access) with the source and month of each. A list needs at least three places to exist.
