The Moody Amphitheater is the centerpiece of the transformation of Waterloo Park, an 11-acre park that includes one-and-a-half miles of trails, heritage trees and wetland gardens, elevated promenades, and play spaces located at the northern end of the new Waller Creek Park. Designed by world-renowned architects Thomas Phifer & Partners, the Moody Amphitheater has become a new architectural icon for the city, featuring a unique steel and translucent stage-house structure that fits seamlessly in the park and provides a dramatic public gateway to Waterloo Park. With its Great Lawn, the Moody Amphitheater accommodates 5,000 attendees for concerts, and educational, cultural, and performing arts events, showcasing the full range of Austin’s creative community.

As the largest park within the Waller Creek district, Waterloo Park and the Moody Amphitheater create a new public space that reflects the spirit of Austin and will serve as the central gathering space for the Red River Cultural District, the emerging Innovation Zone, the Central Health Brackenridge redevelopment, and the Dell Medical School.
