Austin to welcome new Zilker shuttle
Wednesday, May 14, 2025 by Elizabeth Pagano
In an effort to reduce weekend and holiday traffic, the city will launch a new Zilker Loop shuttle that will move Austinites around Zilker Park, free of charge, beginning on Saturday, May 24. Specifically, the loop will take visitors from the park’s Stratford Parking Lot to more popular areas like Barton Springs Pool and Zilker Playground. According to a press release from the city, the shuttle will run on Saturdays, Sundays and holidays from 12 p.m. to 6 p.m., visiting stops every 15 to 20 minutes. While parking at the Stratford Lot is not free, the first two hours of fees can be waived. Coolers and pets are not allowed on the Zilker Loop. More information can be found on the city’s website.
