Call Wendy Scaperotta, Planner IV, at 473-9383 for more information. The park will provide access to the City of Austin's Onion Creek Preserve, which lies adjacent to the property. This project will be complete in September of 1999. The anticipated delay due to the mitigation on an archeological site is not expected to effect the completion date. The design was completed in December of 1998 as projected and the contract for earthwork was awarded in January of 1999.
Construction is currently in progress.
The situation with the composting toilet has caused the delay in this project. TNR staff is working to resolve the issue and will make a decision soon. It is reported by engineering staff that the possibility of constructing a private sewage facility may be more cost effective than a composting toilet that requires either digging a pit or elevating to a height that could lead to ADA issues. When completed this project will add 1 new restroom facility as well as additional lighting for the soccer fields. The park will also feature an equestrian center with an arena, trails, chutes, and corrals.
