Moody Ampitheater at Waterloo Park
The Moody Ampitheater at Waterloo Park is an outdoor performance venue in Austin that holds up to 5,000 people on lawn seating, with chairs set up for certain events. It sits within an 11-acre park that features walking trails, gardens, and open green spaces where visitors can enjoy concerts and community gatherings.
The site has served as a music and festival location since the late 1970s. After a major renovation that began in 2011 and reopened in 2021, the space was redesigned with new pathways, over 500 live oak trees, and features aimed at environmental conservation.
This venue keeps Austin's music tradition alive as a gathering place for the community. Major festivals have been held here since the late 1970s, making it a space where people celebrate together and remember important moments in the city's culture.
The park is open daily from early morning to evening and free to enter, with flat pathways that are easy to walk or navigate by wheelchair. Check the Waterloo Park website for event schedules to find out what performances are happening during your visit and whether they are free or ticketed.
A 150-year-old oak tree was relocated to the Winkler Wetland Terrace to preserve it, and visitors can view it from an elevated walkway overlooking Waller Creek. This unexpected move shows how the redesign balanced conservation with creating a space for events and community gathering.
