Kitty King Powell Lawn

Older kids actually have something worth stopping for here — the climbing structure has some real challenge to it, not the watered-down stuff you see at most Austin playgrounds. The logs and slide combo keeps bigger kids busy longer than you’d expect. That open grass field is a solid bonus, especially if you’ve got a group that wants to spread out and kick a ball around. Restrooms on-site means you’re not scrambling, which parents in this city know better than to take for granted.
