A great park for the whole family in Austin.
A lovely community park, nestled off Oltorf in South Austin. Though located on a fairly small block of town, Gillis is not short on attractions for the whole family. The brilliantly colored play structures are divided into two separate sections: Kids under five; kids between 5-12. Bonus, they're both largely protected from the Texas sun thanks to the support of several big, leafy trees. During the warmer months, the pool opens to the public and provides a bustling community center. Also scattered around the park you'll find a couple of grills and picnic tables flanked by basketball and volleyball courts. Public restrooms are also onsite, and for runners who enjoy a nice track, there's a healthy dirt looped path for stroller runs.
Pool hours vary, but the schedule for 2019 is as follows: Recreational Swim, 1-8 pm weekends and weekdays (except Wednesday when it's closed).
