Work is complete on Ridgeline Neighborhood Park, a new park located right on the Austin-Cedar Park line near Lakeline Mall, a spokesperson for Austin Parks and Recreation said.
The overview
The park is now open to the public, with a ribbon-cutting ceremony scheduled for June 3 by Austin Parks and Recreation.
The park covers an area of just over 10 acres and preserves natural features including forested areas, a wetland ecosystem and two small streams, according to a news release.
The development of the park added amenities, including a looped trail, picnic areas, a water fountain, and native grass and wildflowers.
The backstory
The land that became Ridgeline Neighborhood Park was acquired by the city of Austin in 1987 through parkland dedication associated with the development of Lakeline Mall, the release states. The park's build-out concept was approved in summer 2022.
The project was funded by the city of Austin's Parkland Dedication fees collected from nearby development in Austin.
