Katherine Fleischer Park

Katherine Fleischer Park in the Wells Branch community (North Austin, zip 78728) is one of the most comprehensively outfitted free parks in the northern Austin area. Managed by the Wells Branch Municipal Utility District with a higher maintenance budget than typical city parks, it shows: the equipment is well-maintained, restrooms are clean, and the overall park feel is elevated compared to many City of Austin playground facilities.

The playground section alone is extensive — multiple play structures covering different age groups, good equipment variety, and enough space that the park absorbs large numbers of visitors without feeling crowded. Beyond the playground, the park has basketball courts, tennis courts, open athletic fields, picnic pavilions, and trails.

The seasonal community pool is the summer centerpiece — it's operated by Wells Branch MUD and has separate admission, but the combination of playground + pool visit in a single trip makes for an exceptional summer family day. Check the pool's seasonal schedule before planning a combined visit.

With 1,487 Google reviews and a 4.7 rating, this park has an unusually large review base for a city playground — an indicator of how consistently families return and how broadly it's appreciated in the North Austin community.

Located off Klattenhoff Dr in the 78728 zip, it's convenient for families in Pflugerville, Hutto, Wells Branch, and North Austin.
