Austin City Council requested at its April 5 meeting to be able to approve the design for a dog off-leash trail at Yett Creek Neighborhood Park before the city seeks a contractor to construct the trail.

On Feb. 28, the city's Parks and Recreation Department board approved creating an off-leash trail at the 40-acre park located at 12538 Riata Vista Circle, near the Angus Valley neighborhood.

City staff met with residents in June and August of 2011 to discuss three possible design options. However, the Parks and Recreation Department does not have a final design for the off-leash trail to show City Council yet, said D'Anne Williams, trails coordinator with the city.
