78660: Northeast Metro’s skatepark, BMX and sports grounds
Northeast Metropolitan Park at 15500 Sun Light Near Way provides a large county-operated recreation destination in Pflugerville. Its sports fields, skatepark, splash pad and BMX track operate under distinct arrangements.
Travis County lists baseball, soccer and cricket fields alongside basketball, tennis and pickleball courts. Several fields require reservations, so the presence of a sports facility does not establish drop-in availability.[2]
02
A dedicated BMX track
The county describes a BMX racetrack opened in 2015 with a start hill, asphalt turns and spectator facilities. It directs visitors to Capitol City BMX for track operation times, separate from the surrounding park.[2]
03
Trails and play areas beyond competition
The amenities include paved multi-use trails, playgrounds, a skatepark and a splash pad. The splash pad has a seasonal schedule; a general park visit and a water-play visit need different checks.[2]
Plan a little better
Before you go
Confirm the activity’s operator schedule
Use the linked BMX operator information for track access and the county’s own notices for the other facilities. Do not apply general park hours to every activity.[2]
Check field closures and reservations
Natural-grass sports fields have seasonal rehabilitation periods and weather-related closures. Read the county’s current field information before organizing a team outing.[2]
A few things to know
Where is Northeast Metropolitan Park?+
The county lists 15500 Sun Light Near Way, Pflugerville, TX 78660. This distinguishes it from the similarly named East and Southeast Metro parks.[2]
Does a ZIP code describe an exact neighborhood boundary?+
No. Postal ZIP codes organize mail delivery. Census ZIP Code Tabulation Areas are generalized statistical geographies, and neither should replace a neighborhood boundary or a specific park entrance.[1]

What 78660 calls 311 about
The 8 most-filed request types in ZIP 78660, all time. Together they account for 2,760 of the 5,496 requests ever recorded there — the rest are spread across dozens of smaller categories, so this is a top slice and not a full breakdown.

Austin Public Health has scored 3,255 inspections at 375 facilities in ZIP 78660, averaging 93.3/100. Of those scored visits, 2,482 scored 90 or above, 602 scored 80–89 and 171 scored below 80. The average weighs every visit rather than every restaurant, so a facility inspected more often counts more toward it. Austin Public Health publishes in irregular batches with weeks of lag.

Where 78660’s restaurants stand today
Counting each of the 375 facilities once, at its most recent scored visit: the median score is 95/100, 268 currently sit at 90 or above, and 30 are below 80 (8% of them). That is a different measure from the visit counts above, which weigh a frequently-inspected kitchen more heavily.
Highest most-recent scores
5 of 375 inspected facilities. Ties are common at 100, so this is a slice of the top, not a ranking of the ZIP.
A score under 80 records what one inspector found on one day. It is routinely corrected at the next visit, it is not a closure, and it is not a statement about the food. Open a facility to see whether its next inspection has already landed.
78660 has 22 bars and restaurants reporting $818,381 in mixed-beverage sales in August 2026, per Texas Comptroller TABC data — #18 by those sales of the 47 Austin-area ZIP codes that reported that month. That is 1.2% of the $68,286,880 reported across every Austin-area ZIP for the same month.

Only businesses holding a Texas mixed-beverage permit file these returns, so beer-and-wine-only bars, BYOB restaurants, coffee shops and every unlicensed kitchen in 78660 are absent from this count entirely. “Top” here means alcohol receipts reported to the state, not quality or popularity. A venue that closed keeps appearing until it stops filing, and August 2026 is the most recent month the Comptroller has published — not the current one.
This site publishes no economic figures at ZIP level — no ZIP-level income, employment or business counts are held here, and none are estimated from county numbers. What follows describes Travis County, the county ZIP 78660 sits in (100% of its 311 requests carry that county). A single county contains ZIP codes with very different economies, so treat these figures as the surrounding context, not as a description of 78660.

Across Travis County, Austin 311 has recorded 581,018 service requests spanning 61 ZIP codes, closing half of the last 12 months' requests within 25 hours. That corpus is City of Austin 311 only, so it counts requests made to Austin at addresses in the county — a meaningful figure for Travis, a partial one anywhere Austin is not the service provider.
Ranked by distance between ZIP centroids, so these are the nearest centres rather than a strict list of bordering ZIPs — a large ZIP can share a border and still sit further out on this measure.
ZIP code 78660 is in Austin, Texas, in Travis County. On this site it is grouped under Suburbs & city fringe. ZIP codes are postal delivery geographies, not city or council-district boundaries, so a ZIP can cross both.
Is 78660 safe?
This site publishes no crime data and no safety score for any Austin ZIP code, so it cannot answer that question and does not try to. What it can tell you is what residents reported and what the city acted on: 2,289 311 service requests were filed in 78660 in the most recent 12 months of data (through September 17, 2026), 293 code enforcement cases have been opened there in total, and 18 of those are still open. Report counts are not a safety rating and should not be read as one: a ZIP that files more 311 requests may simply have residents who report more, and a code complaint is an allegation the city has not necessarily upheld. Source: City of Austin open data, datasets xwdj-i9he and 6wtj-zbtb.
How many 311 requests are open in 78660?
110 311 service requests in ZIP 78660 were still open or in progress as of September 17, 2026 — 106 open and 4 in progress. Residents filed 2,289 requests there in the most recent 12 months of data and 157 in the most recent 30 days. Source: City of Austin 311 service requests, dataset xwdj-i9he.
How fast does Austin close 311 requests in 78660?
Half of the 311 requests opened in ZIP 78660 in the last 12 months and since closed were closed within 24 hours, and nine in ten within 14 days. That is about level with the citywide median of 25 hours. Both figures are computed the same way — median hours from opened to closed, over requests opened in the same 12-month window — which is what makes comparing them meaningful. A median describes the middle case, not the worst one. Source: City of Austin 311, dataset xwdj-i9he.
How many code enforcement cases are there in 78660?
Austin Code has opened 293 enforcement cases at addresses in ZIP 78660, of which 18 are not yet closed. Closed cases took a median of 7.0 days to resolve. A code case records an allegation that was investigated, not a finding of wrongdoing, and this site publishes no case addresses. Source: City of Austin Code Cases, dataset 6wtj-zbtb.
How many restaurants in 78660 have been inspected?
Austin Public Health has scored 3,255 inspections at 375 distinct facilities in ZIP 78660, averaging 93.3/100 across those visits. That average weighs every inspection equally, so a restaurant inspected more often counts more toward it. Austin Public Health publishes in irregular batches with weeks of lag, so the newest score on file is not necessarily from this week. Source: City of Austin Open Data Portal, dataset ecmv-9xxi.
How do restaurants in 78660 score on health inspections?
Taking each restaurant in ZIP 78660 at its most recent scored visit, the median score is 95 out of 100 across 375 facilities. 268 of them currently sit at 90 or above and 30 at their last visit came in below 80 — 8% of the ZIP's inspected facilities. The highest most-recent scores on file here include PF - Duck Donuts (100), PF- Five Guys Burgers & Fries #4026 (100), Tokyo Gardens Catering (100). This counts one score per restaurant, not one per visit, so a frequently-inspected kitchen does not pull the figure on its own. A score grades a single inspection on a single day against a checklist — it is not a rating of the food or of the restaurant, and a low score is routinely corrected on the next visit. Newest inspection on file in this ZIP: August 24, 2026. Source: Austin Public Health, dataset ecmv-9xxi.
What are the top bars in 78660?
22 businesses holding a Texas mixed-beverage permit reported sales in ZIP 78660 for August 2026, totalling $818,381 in alcohol receipts — #18 by those sales of the 47 Austin-area ZIP codes that reported that month. The highest-grossing that month were 54TH STREET RESTAURANT & DRAFT ($123,777), OLD GREGG BREWING COMPANY ($76,615), WILLIE'S GRILL & ICEHOUSE ($53,533). "Top" here means alcohol sales reported to the Texas Comptroller, not quality, popularity or crowd — and only businesses with a mixed-beverage permit file at all, so beer-and-wine-only bars, BYOB restaurants and coffee shops are absent entirely. Source: Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, Mixed Beverage Gross Receipts, dataset naix-2893.
What is the economy like around 78660?
No economic data is published on this site at ZIP level, so the honest answer is the county one: 78660 sits in Travis County, where unemployment was 3.9% in July 1, 2026 with a labor force of 877,417. A single county contains ZIP codes with very different economies, so treat this as context rather than a description of 78660.
