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.

Project Description

A map showing the boundaries of Jamestown Neighborhood Park, which borders Jamestown Drive east of Research Boulevard.

Austin Parks Foundation, in coordination with the City of Austin Parks and Recreation Department (PARD), will conduct community engagement and develop a concept plan to guide the future development of Jamestown Neighborhood Park.

  • Winter 2023: Site inventory and analysis (complete)
  • Spring to Fall 2024: Community Engagement and Park Design Development (in progress)
