great place to have a picnic. 1.5 miles from our house. Beautiful skyline view and you won't be displaced by a bunch of soccer/rugby/whatever sports are taking up all of Zilker Park. You also won't be disturbed by a lot of dogs. Additionally, there is a splash pad if you're traveling with kids. I love to do a little yoga here on the deck area by the pond so I can listen to the fountain as a meditative white noise.
