Hes one of the greatest musicians that has ever lived on this planet. The statue may not look exactly like him because its all green. My only gripe is that the statue has a plaque on the other side away from his body near the lake. And they also should be more set about him and double trouble. I believe it would be in Austins best interest to have some type of his music be played with a button or maybe something someone can scan via phone to get more information on him or maybe listen some of his music to listen to, well people are in the park. But its very easy to get to and its not that far away from the main parking lot. And if you love Stevie Ray Vaughan youll love going here. The park is absolutely beautiful. And its such a dog friendly park if you have a dog. Dont forget to take a picture and play some Stevie Ray Vaughan on your phone. While you capture the mystic and beauty of his art and the beauty of Austin. Because Austin Texas is really where Stevie Ray Vaughan and his band came together and he became this famous musician we all know about. Even though he may not have been born here. His impact is still being felt and is immense not only through the United States but the whole world. I gave it five stars cuz I love Stevie. Youre not doing it right if youre not playing Stevie Ray Vaughan music next to the statue for at least 5 minutes while taking pictures.

Absolutely one of the ugliest statues made to commemorate a great guitar player. I knew Stevie and find this statue to truly miss his real character completely. Apparently the city had some money to spend on a friend of someone on the city council, or something like that. Who knows? :-) It does happen to stand in a beautiful location across the river from the very interesting Google building that serves as a gateway to Austin s new and fast growing downtown area.

While visiting here from out of town I had no idea the statue even existed. If I had merely looked another 800 ft to my left I would have seen it initially. Being a big Stevie Ray Vaughan fan, I had to go back for a second visit. When I arrived, the shadow cast from the sun was coincidentally in line with the statues manmade shadow. The Park area is beautiful not to mention the equally nice backdrop of the Austin city skyline itself. Arrive early as parking is very limited on the weekends and extremely nice days.

The Stevie Ray Vaughan Memorial statue is located on the shores of Lady Bird Lake a few hundred feet west of the S 1st Street bridge. Youll see is a bronze statue of the late Texas guitarist in a standing, reflective pose. He is in hat, poncho and boots, balancing his guitar with left hand on the ground. Check out the bronze shadow behind him depicting him in a different pose, playing his guitar. This is a fine monument well placed on the lake shore with the Austin skyline in the background, something nice to find if you are a fan of Stevie Ray Vaughans music or simply passing by while taking in the lakeside trail.

SRV, I saw you in 1987 with Gregg Allman opening for you at Pine Knob in Michigan. I was so close I could see the settings on your amps. You changed how I thought of music during that show and have had a profound effect on me ever since. You are missed. Thank you.

would have loved to see more detail to the statue...the area wasnt as clean as it should be the time we were there....and SRV quit drinking and doing drugs years before he passed, God delivered him....and through rehab and AA he stayed clean and sober...watch his videos and youll see him Thank God personally he is ALIVE AND WELL & able to be singing in concert again thus the title Mr. Clean on one of his bootlegs....he was a Christian....love the tribute...but he was born and raised in Oak Cliff in Dallas TX...hoping they get this tribute up for him and Jimmie quickly.....they should have done it years ago...so TY Austin for honoring Stevie....hate to see his statue flood so often though idk if he would have liked the huge lifelike statue....because he was a very humble person, probably preferred something much smaller, & he sure wouldnt want anyone calling him a GOD or a prophet....if you dont believe me...go listen to all his interviews...he speaks about all ofthe above in several interviews/concerts etc SRV 4EVER

I love Stevie Ray Vaughn and the spectacular music he left us. If you re ever in Austin, I highly recommend taking a short walk to see his awesome Memorial Statue, because it is a really nice piece of art and stands tall just as he did when he was alive. I will always miss seeing him perform as he always seemed to take the crowd to another level and away from the daily grind as I always seek to do when I am on stage. The park is wide open and people are always having good times here. I do hope live music comes back to this park/venue, we need it and Stevie Ray Vaughn would want for everyone to Support Live Music!!!!
