Best Place to People-Watch

Barton Springs

Our beloved springs are not only a great place to swim, play, work, or take your precious Poochie, but also a great place to bask in the sheer number and variety of human eye candy at all hours, not only in weekend prime time. Barton Springs has its die-hard regulars, like the early-morning folks who go to jog or soak up the cooler weather, as well as the end-of-nighters who take advantage of free admission and a scene of unique camaraderie along the grassy knolls. This laid-back and happenin’ park is a natural wonder ... no wonder we locals voted it No. 1.
