About this mapped area City boundary · September 22, 2021
Old Enfield is one of 65 named areas in the City of Austin Neighborhood Planning Areas boundary dataset. The saved source records its planning status as non-neighborhood planning area. 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 OLD ENFIELD.
The local field guide
Old Enfield: find your way along Shoal Creek
Pease Park’s trail and landscape offer an outdoor reference point for exploring the Old Enfield area. The conservancy’s map separates the activity-focused Kingsbury Commons from northern park spaces along Shoal Creek, helping visitors choose a particular destination.
2 linked sources · CheckedFind the designated dog area
The conservancy identifies Gaston Green north of 24th Street as the off-leash section. That designation should not be extended to the entire park or adjacent neighborhood streets.[2]
A mapped category with a familiar name
The saved city dataset classifies Old Enfield as a non-neighborhood planning area. That is a mapping status, not a statement that residents do not use Old Enfield as a neighborhood name.[1]
Plan a little better
Before you go
- Choose a park section before traveling
- Use the conservancy’s map to decide between Kingsbury Commons, the creek trail and Gaston Green. A single Pease Park address does not identify every access point.[2]
- Check splash-pad information separately
- Pease Park’s visitor guide provides a seasonal splash-pad schedule. Review that specific information if water play is the reason for your visit.[2]
A few things to know
Is all of Pease Park an off-leash dog area?
No. The conservancy identifies a particular off-leash section at Gaston Green north of 24th Street. Check its current map and rules.[2]
Does Old Enfield have the same planning status as an approved neighborhood plan?
The saved city boundary file labels it a non-neighborhood planning area. This site retains that distinction while using its named polygon for local data.[1]

What the public record says about Old Enfield
- City of Austin Development Services has issued 1,279 building permits that it has geocoded inside the Old Enfield planning-area boundary, the earliest dated October 8, 1979 and the most recent September 24, 2026, for a combined declared construction value of $82,760,647. 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 January 26, 2026.
- None of the Austin Public Health inspections published for ZIP 78703, 78705, 78701, 78756, 78751 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 78703, 78705, 78701, 78756, 78751, 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 Old Enfield. Filings are monthly and land three to four weeks late.

We hold geocoded coordinates for none of the 100 filers in ZIP 78703, 78705, 78701, 78756, 78751 that would place them inside this boundary. Placement uses our address cache, so this is a gap in our data, not a claim that Old Enfield has no bars.
Old Enfield: questions people actually ask
Is Old Enfield an official Austin neighborhood?
Old Enfield is one of 65 named areas in the City of Austin neighborhood-planning boundary dataset. Its status in the saved source is non-neighborhood planning area. 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 Old Enfield boundary is a single polygon in the source file. The city last modified it on September 22, 2021.
How much construction is happening in Old Enfield?
City of Austin Development Services has issued 1,279 building permits that it has geocoded inside the Old Enfield planning-area boundary, the earliest dated October 8, 1979 and the most recent September 24, 2026, for a combined declared construction value of $82,760,647. 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 Old Enfield?
No ZIP code centroid falls inside the Old Enfield boundary, so we search the 5 nearest instead: 78703, 78705, 78701, 78756, 78751. 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.
