Background

Located at 8323 Jamestown Drive, between Research Boulevard and Maine Drive, the land has stood vacant since at least the 1940s. In 2021, the City of Austin acquired a 3.47-acre parcel, then expanded the park by acquiring an adjacent parcel in 2022. In 2023, the park was granted design services by Austin Parks Foundation to develop a Concept Plan for the park in collaboration with community members.
