Your best bet is to park downtown and then catch the Capital Metro shuttle at 6th and San Jacinto for the ride over to Auditorium Shores. Visit the transportation page for shuttle times and locations.
There are numerous parking options for downtown during the day. Keep in mind that parking becomes scarce as the day gets later. Visit the Downtown Austin website for detailed info on downtown parking locations.
