Onion Creek Metropolitan Park

The Onion Creek Metropolitan Park is a 555-acre regional park located in southeast Travis County, just south of Onion Creek. The land – flat, woody and pond-filled – is undeveloped and used by area residents. The Onion Creek Greenbelt is north of the creek. Onion Creek travels approximately 79 miles.

The regional park may include improvements to open space and the creek, making them more accessible to the public. Also being considered are safe, accessible trails for walking, running, or biking; dog park; equestrian activities; ball fields; and areas in the park for gatherings. New facilities for recreation or multi-entertainment, exercise and education are being contemplated as part of the vision for the park.

The entire Austin community is asked to help identify a vision for the types of activities and improvements for the Onion Creek Metro Park and Greenbelt Corridor to be included in the Master Plan for the park. This master planning process will last for a period of approximately12 months.
