Best Place for a Picnic

Zilker

The crown jewel of city parks has it all for dining al fresco: shaded picnic tables, sunny grasslands, and charcoal pits. As if that weren't enough, there's a mini train for scenic thrills, an extensive playscape for getting out the sillies, and Best Pool Ever: Barton Springs. And heck, you can even forgo the packing of eats and just pick up a burger and fries right outside the pool gates.
