South Austin Park To Close Until Summer For Renovation

SOUTH AUSTIN, TEXAS — Little Stacy Neighborhood Park is scheduled for closure next week for renovation, with a scheduled reopening in early summer, officials said.

The park in South Austin will close on Jan. 7, according to a city advisory. During renovation, park areas containing the tennis courts, restroom facility, play equipment, picnic tables and grills will be closed, according to parks officials who added that Sunset Lane will remain open during the construction period.

When completed, officials noted, Little Stacy Park will have new sidewalks in compliance with the Americans With Disabilities Act; picnic tables, and grills; a new basketball half-court; rain gardens and infrastructure for drainage control; and an improved restroom facility compliant with current ADA standards. Improvements to the playgrounds also include a hillside slide, which will provide a more accessible, enjoyable, and inclusive play area for the community, officials said.
