Earl J. Pomerleau Pocket Park Master Plan

Austin Parks Foundation, in coordination with the City of Austin Parks and Recreation Department, has awarded design services to Pomerleau Pocket Park for Park Master Planning.  The master planning process will seek input from the surrounding community to provide a long range vision and amenity prioritization for future development of the park.

Earl J. Pomerleau Pocket Park

Project Background

Located at 1906 Patton Lane in North Windsor Park Neighborhood, Pomerleau Park is approximately 2 acres of undeveloped parkland in District 1.   The park’s natural amenities include many mature shade trees, open field space and abundant wildflowers in the spring. The park is currently completely enclosed by fencing and is not open to the public on a daily basis. 

Project Goals and Timeline

The design process will take up to 12 months with the end goal of an adopted City of Austin Parks Master Plan.  Three public input meetings will be scheduled during the master planning process to ensure a collaborative approach and a final design rooted in community input.

The master planning process will include numerous opportunities for the public to voice their opinions and desires. Public engagement elements will include stakeholder meetings, surveys, and public meetings.
