About the Location
Location and Features

Historical Background
Established as one of the earliest Travis County parks, the land was donated to the county in 1939. Fritz Hughes Park preserves much of the feel of the original steep-sloped Colorado River bottoms due to the narrow width of Lake Austin in this area.

The park is primarily used for picnicking, fishing, and recreational activities. Its location provides visitors with scenic views of the surrounding hills and offers a tranquil setting for relaxation and outdoor enjoyment.

Fritz Hughes Park is open Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday from 6:30AM to 9:30PM, Thursday from 7AM to 10PM, and Saturday from 6AM to 9PM.
