Robinson Park

Robinson Park in the Jollyville neighborhood is one of northwest Austin's best community parks — and the fact that it's managed by North Austin Municipal Utility District (rather than the City of Austin) directly translates to a noticeably higher standard of maintenance and programming.

The splash pad is the summer centerpiece: a well-designed water play area with jets, spray features, and water structures that northwest Austin families treat as a summer institution. On hot days it fills up with kids from across the northwest Austin suburbs, so coming in the morning is wise for the best experience.

The park has extensive amenities beyond the splash pad: a large playground with multi-age equipment, basketball courts, sand volleyball courts, picnic pavilions, and a community pool operated separately by North Austin MUD 1. The pool has separate fees and seasonal hours — check northaustinmud1.org for current information.

With 354 reviews at 4.7 stars, Robinson Park is consistently well-rated by the families who use it. The higher maintenance budget compared to city parks is the key differentiator — equipment is repaired quickly, facilities are clean, and the overall park experience is polished.

Located on Humphrey Dr in the Jollyville neighborhood, it's convenient for families in the 78729, 78726, and surrounding northwest Austin zip codes.
