    Harmful Algae in the Water

    I live in Austin, and for the last 3 years harmful blue green algae has been found in Austin waterways, including this park. Please make sure to check the city website before allowing your pup in the water. The blue green algae has already claimed the lives of too many pups.

    Great little oasis in Austin

    Limited parking, so be patient. Nice wide paths that lead to a lovely tip of the peninsula and a nice view of Lady Bird Lake. We met some friendly dogs while off leash and leashed up as well. We’ll return on a future visit to Austin.

    Toxic Algae

    beautiful place but sadly the blue algae makes it toxic place for dogs to swim in
    the trails are nice as well

    Hidden Gem

    This place was perfect for my dog to cool down! She loves to swim! We met lots of doggie friends and the humans were nice too! Parking is skimpy but worth waiting for!

    One of best in the country.

    Huge island park that is completely off leash. I've been to dog parks all across the USA and this one of the best ones for humans and dogs alike.

    Great place to play!

    This place was great! Plenty of places to walk and play! Our dog was very happy and exhausted by the time we left. We will definitely return to Red Bud Isle while visiting Austin!

    Awesome for Swimmers

    My two cocker spaniels LOVE this park. They love wondering around the trees and swimming in the river. There are always a ton of friendly dogs and friendly folks around. Perfect representation of laid back Austin fun!
