Park East

Bird Water Feature
Birds are drawn to the rock structure with recycling water gently flowing across several levels. A palisade-style viewing blind lets you observe the birds without disturbing them.

PHP East Butterfly Garden
The Butterfly Garden is a raised garden bed for native pollinators planted in the form of a butterfly, just south of the Salado Creek Outdoor Classroom.

Dog Park (East)
The tree-lined, award-winning dog parks are among the most popular attractions at Hardberger Park. The enclosed parks are divided so that small dogs and large dogs can run off-leash in their own areas.

Phil's Tree
The inspiration for Phil Hardberger Park can be traced to this majestic live oak, more than 100 years old.
