The Highland Lakes area is home to some of Texas's most beautiful parks, many of which host music and community events throughout the year. Here is a guide to some of the area's best public parks, offering everything from serene riverside spots to family-friendly recreational areas.

The Slab on the Llano River in Kingsland

Often enjoyed just like a park, The Slab is a local favorite on the Llano River. This unique spot features a large, sandy beach—perfect for sunbathing and building sandcastles. The shallow, clear water is ideal for young children to wade in and explore for small "sea" shells. To get there, turn west at the blinking yellow light on Hwy 1431 and follow the road straight to the river. You can't miss this beloved Kingsland hangout.

Kingsland Community Park

Located on the scenic shores of Lake LBJ, the Kingsland Community Park (formerly Lions Club Park) is a fantastic spot for water activities. The park features a boat launch with three docks, making it easy to get on the lake. Visitors can also enjoy swimming, fishing, or a lakeside picnic at one of the park's concrete tables. Signs directing you to the park are available along Hwy 1431, between the bridge and the stoplight. The park is at the end of Williams Street, right on Lake LBJ.
