Area parks and recreation amenitiesBartholomew Park
Bartholomew Park is a gleaming green jewel on the southern edge of our neighborhood at the corner of Berkman Drive and 51st Street, welcoming families and visitors with gradual hills, a winding creek, and sprawling canopy of trees. Bartholomew has a long history of neighborhood involvement. Volunteers have given money and sweat to plant trees, build play equipment, paint buildings, and more.

Upcoming Parks
There is undeveloped land owned by Austin Parks and Rec that will be developed into parkland. This includes 2.2 acres along Patton Lane and Mira Loma and a historic pecan grove along 51st Street, near 183. The neighborhood association is also maintaining a small planting area along the median at Berkman and 290, across from El Rancho, thanks to a grant from Keep Austin Beautiful.
Our median – The finished product!
