A new pocket park is expected to open in north Windsor Park by the end of the year after Austin's Planning Commission approved the project's final site plan March 22.

Plans for the Earl J. Pomerleau Pocket Park, located at 1906 Patton Lane, Austin, came together several years ago following a community input process over desired improvements at the vacant parkland. Under the city's plan, the undeveloped 1.93-acre Pomerleau Pocket Park will be home to a new walking path, a pavilion, fitness and playground facilities, and picnic tables and benches.

With the site plan now set, the city can move forward on the improvement project previously estimated at around $876,500. The parks and recreation department expects to begin construction this summer and open the revamped Pomerleau park later this year.

More information on the park and earlier community planning processes may be viewed here.

The park's final site plan is based on the layout produced during the 2019 master plan process. (Courtesy city of Austin)
