Butler Park After Dark

Just west of the Palmer Events Center (between Riverside Drive and Barton Springs Road) is Butler Park. The park was named in honor of the Butler family that donated the land to the city. It's a great park that offers excellent views of downtown from the observation hill, meandering walkways, a relaxing pond, lots of local vegetation and cool dancing fountains that you can play in (sorry, no dogs).



Once the sun goes down, the dancing fountains are joined by a light show. We're not talking Bellagio here, but it is an entertaining show and whoever set it up did a great job. Another awesome way to be entertained in Austin.



This is waiting for you at the top of the hill
