The Austin Parks and Recreation Department, in collaboration with the Austin Parks Foundation, is inviting the public to attend a ribbon-cutting ceremony for the Oertli Neighborhood Park. The event will take place at 12613 Blaine Rd. on November 22 at 11 a.m.
According to a press release issued by the city of Austin on November 12, attendees are advised to dress appropriately for the weather as the event will be held outdoors.
Oertli Neighborhood Park features a loop trail connecting its two entrances, shade trees, a playground area with a pavilion, fitness equipment, a fenced-in off-leash area, and ample space for open play. Construction of the park began in December 2023 and concluded this month.
The six-acre park is located on land that was historically a pasture owned by the Oertli family from 1923 to 2001. A Texas Historical Marker has been erected on the site to commemorate its history.
