About this mapped area City boundary · September 22, 2021
Garrison Park 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 merges 2 polygons from the city's file, covering the sub-district the city names EAST GARRISON PARK, with ordinance 20141106-085 recorded in the source, and the city last modified it on . The dataset stores the name as GARRISON PARK.
The local field guide
Garrison Park: a South Austin swimming landmark
Garrison Pool gives this guide a clear destination on Menchaca Road. The city’s facility listing brings together the details that matter for a swim, from a wading area and lap lanes to accessibility and seasonal operating periods.
1 linked sources · CheckedDifferent ways to swim
The city describes a 50-meter outdoor recreational pool with two lap lanes, a diving board and a separate wading pool. Those features help distinguish a lap session from a recreational visit.[1]
Check the supporting amenities
Garrison’s listing includes a chair lift, changing area, outdoor showers and picnic tables. Review the operator’s information if a particular amenity is essential to your visit.[1]
Plan a little better
Before you go
- Read the seasonal period carefully
- The Garrison page publishes different operating periods and admission information. Verify the exact date and current fees rather than carrying a summer schedule into another season.[1]
- Match your visit to the pool type
- The city distinguishes the wading area from the deeper recreational pool and its lap lanes. Confirm the relevant access details for your group.[1]
A few things to know
Where can I confirm Garrison Pool access details?
Use the city’s dedicated Garrison Pool page, which lists accessibility features, contact information and the operating schedule. Contact the facility for a specific requirement.[1]
Does Garrison Pool have a wading area?
The official facility listing includes a wading pool alongside the 50-meter recreational pool. Review the current operating information before planning a swim.[1]

What the public record says about Garrison Park
- City of Austin Development Services has issued 4,847 building permits that it has geocoded inside the Garrison Park planning-area boundary, the earliest dated March 20, 1978 and the most recent September 17, 2026, for a combined declared construction value of $268,647,749. 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 20, 2026.
- None of the Austin Public Health inspections published for ZIP 78745, 78749, 78748, 78704, 78735 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 78745, 78749, 78748, 78704, 78735, 0 sit inside this boundary. The Comptroller has not published a filing month for these rows. Per-venue figures are gross receipts reported to the Comptroller, summed over each venue’s own filing months — never a total for Garrison Park. Filings are monthly and land three to four weeks late.

Bars & restaurants filing receipts
Texas Comptroller mixed-beverage filers we placed inside this boundary
We hold geocoded coordinates for none of the 100 filers in ZIP 78745, 78749, 78748, 78704, 78735 that would place them inside this boundary. Placement uses our address cache, so this is a gap in our data, not a claim that Garrison Park has no bars.
Garrison Park: questions people actually ask
Is Garrison Park an official Austin neighborhood?
Garrison Park 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 Garrison Park boundary merges 2 sub-district polygons from the source file. The city last modified it on September 22, 2021.
Which ordinances are recorded for Garrison Park?
City of Austin ordinance number 20141106-085 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 Garrison Park?
City of Austin Development Services has issued 4,847 building permits that it has geocoded inside the Garrison Park planning-area boundary, the earliest dated March 20, 1978 and the most recent September 17, 2026, for a combined declared construction value of $268,647,749. 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 Garrison Park?
No ZIP code centroid falls inside the Garrison Park boundary, so we search the 5 nearest instead: 78745, 78749, 78748, 78704, 78735. 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.
