About this mapped area City boundary · September 22, 2021
Galindo is one of 65 named areas in the City of Austin Neighborhood Planning Areas boundary dataset. The saved source records its planning status as suspended. 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, and the city last modified it on . The dataset stores the name as GALINDO.
The local field guide
Galindo: recreation on Cumberland Road
South Austin Recreation Center offers a local starting point for sports, programs and shared indoor space. Its Cumberland Road facility connects an indoor gym and meeting rooms with outdoor courts and play areas.
3 linked sources · CheckedPrograms for different ages
The center describes programs for young children, youth, adults and older adults. Its registration links are more useful than assuming every listed space is open for drop-in use.[2]
One precise neighborhood destination
The recreation center and South Austin Neighborhood Park share the city-listed address of 1100 Cumberland Road. Use the center’s map and program page for the activity you want.[2][3]
Plan a little better
Before you go
- Check a program before heading over
- Use the recreation center’s registration and schedule links for a class or organized sport. Facility opening hours and a particular program’s availability are separate details.[2]
- Choose the right indoor space
- For a meeting or group activity, check South Austin Recreation Center’s room and program information before relying on a drop-in visit.[2]
A few things to know
Is Galindo’s mapped area proof of an adopted plan?
The saved city boundary snapshot labels Galindo within the suspended South Lamar Combined planning area. A mapped area and an adopted neighborhood plan are not interchangeable.[1]

What the public record says about Galindo
- City of Austin Development Services has issued 2,418 building permits that it has geocoded inside the Galindo planning-area boundary, the earliest dated May 1, 1978 and the most recent September 16, 2026, for a combined declared construction value of $177,081,342. 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 November 26, 2025.
- None of the Austin Public Health inspections published for ZIP 78704 could be placed inside this boundary — we match them by geocoded street address, so this means “none we can place”, not “none exist”.
- Of the 100 highest-grossing mixed-beverage filers the Texas Comptroller lists for ZIP 78704, 3 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 Galindo. Filings are monthly and land three to four weeks late.

Galindo: questions people actually ask
Is Galindo an official Austin neighborhood?
Galindo is one of 65 named areas in the City of Austin neighborhood-planning boundary dataset. Its status in the saved source is suspended. 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 Galindo boundary is a single polygon in the source file. The city last modified it on September 22, 2021.
How much construction is happening in Galindo?
City of Austin Development Services has issued 2,418 building permits that it has geocoded inside the Galindo planning-area boundary, the earliest dated May 1, 1978 and the most recent September 16, 2026, for a combined declared construction value of $177,081,342. 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 Galindo?
ZIP code 78704 has a centroid inside the Galindo boundary. 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.
