The park’s design reflects Austin’s natural environment and topography, gently and deliberately educating the public about sustainability and the natural world. The park celebrates natural waterways while enhancing native planting areas, promoting biodiversity, and reducing carbon through new tree planting and native landscaping. Some of the 21-acre park’s main elements include a Deep Eddy inspired splash pad, community pavilion with bathrooms and outdoor sinks, stage and lawn, a larger-than-life wind sculpture, zipline, and several multi-generational play areas. The park’s different zones are connected by a through-type arch pedestrian bridge, Mini Penny after Austin’s famous Pennybacker Bridge. Easton Park’s overall trail system and its trails run adjacent to and engage with these natural landscapes, integrating design elements through curves and layers.
