A two-acre recreational environment within Butler Park, the Alliance Children’s Garden represents the fulfillment of a multiyear planning effort to provide Austin residents with a multi-purpose cultural park. The garden design is tailored for children while providing a variety of play and recreational experiences, including promotion of wellness and education for families and visitors of all ages and abilities.

The Alliance Children's Garden represents the unique culture of Austin through contextual forms, imaginative play, playful elements and strong aesthetics. The children’s garden is divided into four thematic rooms that reflect Austin’s unique culture and environment, including the hill country garden, the skyline garden, the art and culture garden, and the rock and slide valley garden. 

It is located directly next to a small pond where you can spy turtles, it’s adjacent to the Liz Carpenter splash pad (opened during spring and summer), and it is connected to the Hike & Bike Trail.
