Austin Parks and Recreation now offers a weekends only free shuttle service every 20 minutes to Zilker Metropolitan Park from the One Texas Center parking garage, 505 Barton Springs Rd. This is a pilot program to explore alternative transportation and parking options for Zilker Metropolitan Park.

There will be a total of two shuttles operational from 11:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. every Saturday and Sunday, and during the 4th of July and Labor Day holidays. The shuttle service will be available starting on Saturday, June 25 through Labor Day on Monday September 5, 2022.

People interested in taking advantage of this free shuttle service should park in the One Texas Center parking garage and then get their parking ticket validated on the shuttle bus. Parking tickets must be validated by the shuttle driver in order to not be charged the $10 parking fee at the parking garage.
