About
Skyline Park sits within the Easton Park master-planned community in southeast Austin — one of Austin's larger new residential developments in the Bluff Springs area. The park gets its name honestly: from its elevated position, the views of the Austin skyline are genuinely beautiful, making it one of the more photogenic park settings in the city.
The playground has modern, well-maintained equipment typical of developer-built community parks — a step up in design quality from older city playgrounds because newer developments invest in amenity infrastructure to attract buyers. The play structures are age-appropriate across a wide range and the surrounding green space gives room for unstructured play.
For families visiting southeast Austin or living in the Bluff Springs / Easton Park area, this is the quality community park option. It's not a regional destination that draws families from across the city, but it's a well-executed neighborhood amenity that the 4.7-star rating confirms delivers on its promise.
The park closes at 8PM (earlier than many city parks) — note this when planning afternoon visits in summer when daylight extends late.
