Residents proudly "Keep Austin Weird" in the 78704 zip code while neighborhoods like Travis Heights, Barton Hills and Bouldin Creek reflect highly diverse personalities: you'll discover historic homes next to modern architecture featured in magazines. A progressive, creative, personality-packed part of town, find folks who grow their own food, ride bikes to the neighborhood bar (many of Austin's "it" bars reside on the east side) and enjoy weekend farmers' markets. With a slower pace than downtown–but only a short bike ride away–this delightfully diverse area of kind folks and hip businesses is also growing into one of Austin's favorite places to hang out. -

Neighborhood Parks in Downtown Austin
Neighborhood Parks in Downtown Austin: Analysis of Open Space Availability and Residential Growth Sara Hammerschmidt Community and Regional Planning, The University of Texas at Austin CRP 386: Introduction to Geographic Information Systems Sara Hammerschmidt Neighborhood Parks in Downtown Austin: Analysis of Open Space Availability and Residential Growth CRP 386, Fall 2008 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In downtown Austin there is currently a significant increase in the number of residential units being built while new parks and open space that specifically serve the downtown residential area do not appear to be a consideration. The issue of the quality and amount of park and open space per capita is becoming increasingly important as the population of downtown is rapidly expanding. Mayor Will Wynn has a goal of 25,000 downtown residents by the year 2015 and a report from the Downtown Commission regarding the possibility of achieving this goal makes no mention of increasing parks and open space. One of the benefits to living in a dense urban area is convenience to amenities and services, including spaces for rest and recreation. In this study I analyzed current and projected population growth and looked at the current amount of park space that serves Census Tract 11 in downtown Austin and determined that there is not enough park space, per the national standard set by the National Recreation and Park Association, to meet the mayor’s 2015 population goal. I identified approximately 30 acres of parcels within Tract 11 that are appropriate for development into new parks, and also identified blocks within a smaller study area that need streetscape improvements in order to provide better connectivity between residential developments and existing parks. -
