Ridgeline Neighborhood Park is in the design and permitting phase. The project team will begin to refine the proposed concept plan and work with engineering consultants for construction and permit documentation. The goal of this project is to provide visible and safe access to the park and install amenities that align with community needs and environmental constraints. Construction is anticipated in 2023/2024.

Proposed Concept Plan for Ridgeline Park

Background

The 10.45 acres of parkland is located at 2701 South Lakeline Blvd., Austin, Texas 78613, and was acquired by the City of Austin in 1987, as part of parkland dedication associated with the development of Lakeline Mall. Ridgeline Neighborhood Park is a City of Austin property, located in Williamson County and bordering Cedar Park. 

Project Description

The property is currently undeveloped and lacks a sidewalk along the street frontage of South Lakeline Blvd. The parkland consists of forested areas, a wetland ecosystem, and two small streams that run through the park. Anticipated improvements to the park will preserve the natural environment and include a loop trail, public street sidewalk, picnic areas, playground and/or workout zones, and park signage. The City of Austin Parks and Recreation Department (PARD) expects to hold (2) community engagement meetings to identify preferred amenities that align with the surrounding neighborhood.
