East and west are separate stops

About this mapped area City boundary · September 22, 2021
Bouldin Creek is one of 65 named areas in the City of Austin Neighborhood Planning Areas boundary dataset. The saved source records its planning status as plan approved. These mapped categories differ from colloquial neighborhood names. Districts people name in conversation, like South Congress, Rainey Street or the Sixth Street entertainment district, are not separate areas in this dataset; they sit inside a planning area or straddle two. This boundary is a single polygon in the city's file, with ordinance 20020523-032 recorded in the source, and the city last modified it on . The dataset stores the name as BOULDIN CREEK.
The local field guide
Bouldin Creek: small green spaces behind a familiar name
Bouldin Creek’s name appears on several different green spaces. The city lists separate east and west creek sites as well as Nicholas Dawson Neighborhood Park. Their precise addresses offer a better starting point than treating every Bouldin reference as the same destination.
4 linked sources · CheckedA neighborhood park on James Street
The city directory places Nicholas Dawson Neighborhood Park at 704 West James Street. Its name is a park name; it should not be used to identify the separate Dawson planning area.[4]
A plan with its own history
Austin’s planning resources record the Bouldin Creek Neighborhood Plan’s adoption on May 23, 2002, with links to its future land-use map and implementation chart. Those documents complement the dated civic records below.[2]
Plan a little better
Before you go
- Choose the exact green space
- Check the city’s park directory for the full destination name and address. For a walk, use its separate trail directory rather than assuming the east and west greenbelts form a continuous route.[4][3]
- Keep park names distinct
- For a meetup at Nicholas Dawson Neighborhood Park, share the West James Street address; the city separately lists Mary Dawson Pocket Park and other creek sites.[4]
A few things to know
Does a park name establish a neighborhood boundary?
No. Nicholas Dawson Park is a named destination, while the city’s planning file defines separate mapped areas. Use the polygon map for boundary-based comparisons.[4][1]
Where is West Bouldin Creek Greenbelt listed?
The city park directory lists West Bouldin Creek Greenbelt at 1200 South Sixth Street. Check its map link for directions.[4]

What the public record says about Bouldin Creek
- City of Austin Development Services has issued 6,185 building permits that it has geocoded inside the Bouldin Creek planning-area boundary, the earliest dated April 20, 1978 and the most recent September 17, 2026, for a combined declared construction value of $1,259,138,822. Declared value is the figure an applicant puts on the permit application — not market value and not finished cost. Counted over every issue date in the city’s Issued Construction Permits dataset (3syk-w9eu), building permits only. Placing a permit inside a boundary needs a mapped coordinate, and about one building permit in seven (13.8% of them, as published on 2026-07-26) carries no location at all — those rows cannot be placed in any neighbourhood, here or anywhere else, so this is a count of geocoded permits rather than of every permit issued. How busy it is now is a different question, and the list below is the honest answer to it: the 25 most recently issued permits here were all issued since July 2, 2026.
- The 3 most recent restaurant inspections we could place inside this boundary run from August 20, 2026 to September 2, 2026, averaging 87 out of 100. Austin Public Health publishes these in irregular batches, historically weeks after the visit, and this page lists at most 15 — so that count is the size of our list, not the number of restaurants in Bouldin Creek. A score is a single-visit snapshot.
- Of the 100 highest-grossing mixed-beverage filers the Texas Comptroller lists for ZIP 78704, 78701, 78702, 78703, 78705, 4 sit inside this boundary. The newest filing in that set is August 2026. Per-venue figures are gross receipts reported to the Comptroller, summed over each venue’s own filing months — never a total for Bouldin Creek. Filings are monthly and land three to four weeks late.

Bouldin Creek: questions people actually ask
Is Bouldin Creek an official Austin neighborhood?
Bouldin Creek is one of 65 named areas in the City of Austin neighborhood-planning boundary dataset. Its status in the saved source is plan approved. Inclusion in this file does not by itself mean a neighborhood plan was adopted. Well-known districts such as South Congress, Rainey Street and the Sixth Street entertainment district are not separate areas in this dataset; they sit inside a planning area, or straddle two. The Bouldin Creek boundary is a single polygon in the source file. The city last modified it on September 22, 2021.
Which ordinances are recorded for Bouldin Creek?
City of Austin ordinance number 20020523-032 is recorded against this planning area in the city's Neighborhood Planning Areas dataset, with planning status plan approved.
How much construction is happening in Bouldin Creek?
City of Austin Development Services has issued 6,185 building permits that it has geocoded inside the Bouldin Creek planning-area boundary, the earliest dated April 20, 1978 and the most recent September 17, 2026, for a combined declared construction value of $1,259,138,822. Declared value is the figure the applicant put on the permit application, not market value or finished cost. Counted from the city's Issued Construction Permits dataset (3syk-w9eu), building permits only, over every issue date in that dataset. The boundary test needs a mapped coordinate, and about one building permit in seven (13.8% as published on 2026-07-26) carries no location, so those rows cannot be placed in any neighbourhood and are not in this figure.
What ZIP codes cover Bouldin Creek?
No ZIP code centroid falls inside the Bouldin Creek boundary, so we search the 5 nearest instead: 78704, 78701, 78702, 78703, 78705. We match ZIP codes to planning areas by testing each ZIP's centroid against the boundary polygon, so a large ZIP can overlap an area without its centre landing inside it. Use the boundary, not the ZIP, as the authority.
