Dogs of Zilker

Every Austinite loves to spend the day at Zilker Park, furry friends included. It’s not only a fun time for the owner and their pet, but for the people at the park that get to meet them. You never know what you’ll see; from dogs being pushed in strollers, to them running after a ball, it’ll definitely bring a smile to your face. The dogs of Zilker never fail to entertain us park goers, and you can count on them to instantly lift your mood.
