78722: Patterson’s play areas, sports and seasonal pool

Patterson Neighborhood Park offers several distinct activities around its Brookview Road setting. Its outdoor recreation areas and seasonal swimming pool should be planned separately, especially when an older park preview includes outdated swimming hours.

3 linked sources · Checked

More than a swimming stop

Austin Parks Foundation describes Patterson’s green space, skate ramp, sports courts and playgrounds. Those details give the park an identity beyond its pool and help visitors choose an activity.[2]

Play spaces for different ages

The foundation’s park preview describes separate playground areas aimed at younger and older children, plus a pavilion. Check the actual site when selecting a meeting point rather than using “the playground” as the only directions.[2]

A pool with its own status

The City identifies Patterson Pool at 4200 Brookview Road and describes an outdoor recreational pool with a chair lift. Its facility page, rather than a historic blog schedule, is the place to check current swimming availability.[1]

Plan a little better

Before you go

Check seasonal closure information
Read the City’s pool status before departing. A park may remain available while its pool is closed for the season.[1]
Distinguish a preview from a timetable
Use the foundation’s article for park context, then the City pool page for current operations. Do not carry forward the older article’s listed swimming times.[1][2]

A few things to know

Where is Patterson Pool?

The City lists it at 4200 Brookview Road, Austin, TX 78722, and publishes its seasonal status on the facility page.[1]

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.[3]

Restaurant health inspections in 78722

Where 78722’s restaurants stand today

Counting each of the 57 facilities once, at its most recent scored visit: the median score is 90/100, 31 currently sit at 90 or above, and 4 are below 80 (7% of them). That is a different measure from the visit counts above, which weigh a frequently-inspected kitchen more heavily.

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 78722 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.

Neighborhoods in and around 78722

1 City of Austin neighborhood planning area has a boundary containing the centroid of ZIP 78722. These two geographies do not nest. A planning area can straddle several ZIPs and a ZIP can cover parts of several planning areas, so read this as “overlaps”, never as “78722 contains” or “is inside”. The test here is a single point — the ZIP’s centroid — so a planning area covering the edge of 78722 but not its middle will be missing from this list.

Boundaries: City of Austin neighborhood planning areas. Overlap is computed by point-in-polygon against each ZIP’s centroid, which is a coarse test and is the reason this list is short.

Economy and county context for 78722

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 78722 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 78722.

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.

Common questions about 78722

Where is 78722 located?

ZIP code 78722 is in Austin, Texas, in Travis County. On this site it is grouped under East Austin. City of Austin neighborhood planning areas whose boundary contains the 78722 centroid include Rosewood. ZIP codes are postal delivery geographies, not city or council-district boundaries, so a ZIP can cross both.

Is 78722 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: 3,368 311 service requests were filed in 78722 in the most recent 12 months of data (through September 17, 2026), 963 code enforcement cases have been opened there in total, and 33 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 78722?

139 311 service requests in ZIP 78722 were still open or in progress as of September 17, 2026 — 134 open and 5 in progress. Residents filed 3,368 requests there in the most recent 12 months of data and 301 in the most recent 30 days. Source: City of Austin 311 service requests, dataset xwdj-i9he.

How fast does Austin close 311 requests in 78722?

Half of the 311 requests opened in ZIP 78722 in the last 12 months and since closed were closed within 27 hours, and nine in ten within 14 days. That is 1.5 hours slower than 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 78722?

Austin Code has opened 963 enforcement cases at addresses in ZIP 78722, of which 33 are not yet closed. Closed cases took a median of 3.0 days to resolve. 127 cases are flagged as related to Austin's Repeat Offender Program for multifamily properties. 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 78722 have been inspected?

Austin Public Health has scored 341 inspections at 57 distinct facilities in ZIP 78722, averaging 90.2/100 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 78722 score on health inspections?

Taking each restaurant in ZIP 78722 at its most recent scored visit, the median score is 90 out of 100 across 57 facilities. 31 of them currently sit at 90 or above and 4 at their last visit came in below 80 — 7% of the ZIP's inspected facilities. The highest most-recent scores on file here include Local Leaf, LLC (100), DFG Noodles (100), Maplewood Elementary (99). 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: July 24, 2026. Source: Austin Public Health, dataset ecmv-9xxi.

What are the top bars in 78722?

10 businesses holding a Texas mixed-beverage permit reported sales in ZIP 78722 for August 2026, totalling $737,982 in alcohol receipts — #20 by those sales of the 47 Austin-area ZIP codes that reported that month. The highest-grossing that month were ESTE/BAR TOTI ($290,995), HAYMAKER ($83,102), VORTEX REPERTORY COMPANY ($70,451). "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 78722?

No economic data is published on this site at ZIP level, so the honest answer is the county one: 78722 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 78722. Sources: U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics and U.S. Census Bureau via FRED (Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis).
