Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:

Butler Metro Park is right across the street from Auditorium Shores park, so visitors kind of get a two for one deal on an excellent urban recreation space.

Butler Metro Park is sometimes known by its old name, Town Lake Metro Park, and within its grounds are the Dougherty Art Center, and the Palmer Events Center, though the latter is not part of the park.

At Butler Metro Park, visitors will find trails for running, walking, and biking, as well as green space perfect for picnics and pick up games of frisbee, There’s a splash pad fountain that is generally swarming with locals and kids trying to cool off on hots days, and even a putt putt mini golf course.
