Jessica Hollis Park

Jessica Hollis Park is such a beautiful spot in Austin! I brought all my teenagers and nephews here to go paddle boarding, and we had the best time. The views of the water and surrounding area are absolutely gorgeous, and it’s a perfect place to spend the day outdoors.

It was fun, peaceful, and such a great experience for the whole family. We made some wonderful memories here and would definitely recommend Jessica Hollis Park for paddle boarding, relaxing, and enjoying the beauty of Austin!

The water was decent but not as clear as some have claimed. Right away we saw a big snake at the shoreline but of course it's nature. My biggest concern was all the dogs off leashes. Some were well behaved but there were a couple of tense moments between dogs just meeting and we had to be on constant alert with all the dogs running around.

Great park for grilling and swimming. Reserved tables are only on the weekends. But during the week its generally not too crowded at all. Water is coming from the dam and is from the bottom of Lake Travis and feels like a perfect spring fed coldness! Perfect for the hot Texas days!
Excellent location for Paddleboarding and kayaks or even just a float/tube.
They charge on the weekends for parking so keep that in mind.
Great spot to have a day at the river

Beautiful and not overcrowded. The water was crystal clear and everyone working and nearby was really kind and friendly. The place was also very clean and had a lot of shade for each picnic table. Will definitely come again!

I think this is the perfect place to gather with friends or family for a picnic or barbecue. The nature here is incredibly beautiful. The water is quite clean, with many trees and green grass. There are several grills, trash bins, tables, and benches for sitting.

There were no issues with parking either, but it is not free.
