The Walnut Creek District Off-Leash Area in Austin began as part of a critical 1981 flood control project within the Shoal Creek watershed.
This project, involving a significant investment to manage the watershed, stemmed from the area’s history as a 365-acre tract acquired as Woodlawn Plantation.
The park’s location on North Lamar Boulevard offers access through pedestrian walkways.
The park’s design is connected to the sidewalk along Lamar Boulevard.
It’s important to note the park’s position within the Shoal Creek watershed, which influences its management and potential ecological considerations.
The West Sixth Street Bridge, now on the National Register of Historic Places, is nearby.
Current restoration efforts, led by the City’s Watershed Protection Department’s Shoal Creek Restoration Project, focus on "grow zones," erosion control, and mitigating pollution from storm runoff.
