Shady Springs Party Barn

Shady Springs Party Barn is a family-owned and operated rental venue situated on 20 acres of privately owned property in southeast Austin, available for company picnics, reunions, and various other occasions. The venue includes a Junior Olympic-sized pool, two sand volleyball courts, a dance hall called The Barn, outdoor bench seating, and a cabin with a seating area, all on a well-maintained property with a throwback summer camp atmosphere. Established in 1980 and operated by Fred and Lory Denson for over 40 years, with the Driskill Hotel among their first official company picnic clients and growth driven entirely by word of mouth. Located in southeast Austin, approximately 15 minutes from downtown Austin. Renters consistently praise the peaceful, well-maintained outdoor setting and Fred and Lory's hands-on hospitality, including help directing vendors and setup. One reviewer noted that noise from nearby Austin-Bergstrom airport can be significant during outdoor events.
