Monday, April 20, 2015 by Mark Richardson
Austin’s Parks and Recreation Department is planning a community meeting Tuesday to discuss and gather public input for the Eilers Neighborhood Park Improvement project. The renovation project is part of PARD’s Capital Improvement Program. City officials anticipate renovations to picnic, play, pathway and landscape features of the park. The 8-acre park features Deep Eddy Pool, a toddler play area, an ADA accessible ramp to a hike and bike trail and a dock onto Town Lake for fishing and bird watching. The meeting begins at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday at Lions Golf Course Club House, 2901 Enfield Road.
