Metz Park Playscape

Join us on Friday, August 1 for a ribbon cutting ceremony to celebrate the new playscape and landscaping at Metz Neighborhood Park.

Join Austin Parks and Recreation on Friday, August 1 at 10 a.m. for a ribbon cutting ceremony at Metz Neighborhood Park, 2407 Canterbury St., to celebrate its new playscape and landscaping. This seven-acre neighborhood park includes a playscape, splash pad, pool, covered basketball court, shade elements and a bike polo court adjacent to the Mendez Recreation Center.  

This playscape replacement and ground improvement project was shaped by two rounds of community engagement. In addition to strong participation through online surveys and pop-ups collecting feedback from area residents, project staff built a meaningful and collaborative partnership with the staff and youth at the Mendez Recreation Center, who conducted their own survey asking about preferences of playscape features. 

“Metz Neighborhood Park’s new playscape is a shining example of what we can achieve through strong community partnerships and inclusive engagement,” said Jesús Aguirre, Austin Parks and Recreation Director. “We’re especially proud of the collaboration with the youth and staff at Mendez Recreation Center, whose voices helped shape this project from the ground up. Their creativity and insight ensured the new playground truly reflects the needs and spirit of the community.”
