Easter at Travis County Parks – Sunday, April 20, 2025

We’re excited to welcome you and your family to Travis County Parks this Easter! It’s one of our most popular days of the year, and we love seeing our parks filled with laughter, picnics, and joyful celebrations. To help make sure everyone has a safe and enjoyable visit, please keep in mind: • Parks will be open, but due to high demand, we’ll be limiting capacity at each location. • Once a park reaches its capacity, it will close for the rest of the day. Closure notices will be posted on each park’s webpage. • For safety reasons, walking in from outside the park is not allowed and no parking allowed outside the park on the exterior roads. • Please help us keep the parks beautiful by leaving confetti eggs and plastic confetti at home. Eco-friendly alternatives are always appreciated! We recommend arriving early, carpooling when possible, and checking park websites before heading out. Thank you for helping us keep Easter in the parks safe, fun, and festive for everyone
