Green space fans in Austin, prepare to comfortably kick back in the city's newest urban oasis. The bigwigs at Austin Parks and Recreation Department, Austin Parks Foundation, and Windsor Park Neighborhood Association are gearing up to snip the ribbon at Earl J. Pomerleau Pocket Park on April 10 at 4 p.m. Roughly a stone's throw away at 1906 Patton Ln, the park promises fresh air and fun with its sparkling new playground, swings, a pavilion, and even a loop trail for those who fancy a stroll, according to the City of Austin.

The pint-sized park, which is anything but short on amenities, has been to pretty up the neighborhood with picnic spots for family outings and tree plantings to keep the Texas heat at bay. Thanks to the moola pooled from city Parkland Dedication Fees and Urban Forestry, those taxes are now sprouting shade for lounging locals. Just remember to dress like you mean outdoor business, cause this is no place for your Sunday best.

Visitors can expect to soak in the serenity beneath mature shade trees and gambol through wildflowers come spring. This green thumb’s dream is a part of the Austin Parks Foundation’s larger scheme. The org has been toiling for a good 31 years to hook up people with parks, mobilizing volunteers, and splashing cash where needed to ensure Austin’s public spaces don't turn into concrete wastelands, according to the City of Austin.

For those looking to geek out on the details, the Earl J. Pomerleau Pocket Park Concept Plan is available, giving you the lowdown on what's going to be where, as per the City of Austin. As for the Austin Parks Foundation, they're the local heroes dedicated to tricking out Austin's parks with all kinds of improvements. They've set out to transform the city’s open spaces into neighborhood hangouts, ensuring everyone gets a shot to chill in a bit of nature.
