A park connected to the wider district

Wells Branch MUD describes trails connecting the park with Mills Pond, the community library and the disc-golf course. Its concrete walks connect with decomposed-granite paths, so surfaces vary across the network.[1]

A historic homestead in a recreation setting

The district identifies the Gault Homestead within Katherine Fleischer Park and says tours can be arranged on request. A scheduled tour is a separate activity from a casual visit to the grounds.[2]

Courts, playhouse and pavilion

The operator lists tennis, basketball and sand volleyball courts, a large playhouse and playground, and the Chuck Walters Pavilion. Reservation information is available for the pavilion and other gathering spaces.[1]

Plan a little better

Before you go

Respect storm-related field conditions
The district explains that some sports fields occupy detention areas and may flood. Follow its instruction not to use fields while water collects rather than treating them as ordinary dry-weather lawns.[1]
Arrange a homestead tour in advance
Use the district’s contact and reservation information when planning a tour or gathering. The general park description is not confirmation of a particular booking.[2]

A few things to know

Where is Katherine Fleischer Park?

The district lists 2106 Klattenhoff Drive, Austin, TX 78728. Use the event page’s map to identify the park rather than a general Wells Branch destination.[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.[3]

A ZCTA approximates the USPS delivery area — it is not the ZIP code itself, and nothing on this site assigns data to a ZIP using it. Restaurant points are geocoded on the Austin Public Health inspection record (dataset ecmv-9xxi). Bars are not plotted: the Comptroller publishes no venue coordinates, so they are listed below instead.

Restaurant health inspections in 78728

Where 78728’s restaurants stand today

Counting each of the 69 facilities once, at its most recent scored visit: the median score is 93/100, 47 currently sit at 90 or above, and 7 are below 80 (10.1% 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 78728 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.

Economy and county context for 78728

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 78728 sits in (98.1% 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 78728.

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 78728

Where is 78728 located?

ZIP code 78728 is in Austin, Texas, in Travis County. On this site it is grouped under West & Northwest. ZIP codes are postal delivery geographies, not city or council-district boundaries, so a ZIP can cross both.

Is 78728 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: 648 311 service requests were filed in 78728 in the most recent 12 months of data (through September 17, 2026), 26 code enforcement cases have been opened there in total, and 1 of those is 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 78728?

36 311 service requests in ZIP 78728 were still open or in progress as of September 17, 2026 — 33 open and 3 in progress. Residents filed 648 requests there in the most recent 12 months of data and 45 in the most recent 30 days. Source: City of Austin 311 service requests, dataset xwdj-i9he.

How fast does Austin close 311 requests in 78728?

Half of the 311 requests opened in ZIP 78728 in the last 12 months and since closed were closed within 21 hours, and nine in ten within 16 days. That is 4.4 hours faster 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 78728?

Austin Code has opened 26 enforcement cases at addresses in ZIP 78728, of which 1 is not yet closed. Closed cases took a median of 9.0 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 78728 have been inspected?

Austin Public Health has scored 403 inspections at 69 distinct facilities in ZIP 78728, averaging 92.8/100 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 78728 score on health inspections?

Taking each restaurant in ZIP 78728 at its most recent scored visit, the median score is 93 out of 100 across 69 facilities. 47 of them currently sit at 90 or above and 7 at their last visit came in below 80 — 10.1% of the ZIP's inspected facilities. The highest most-recent scores on file here include Taco Bell #030139 (100), Canteen @ Amazon UTX 9 (100), Northwest Elementary School (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 22, 2026. Source: Austin Public Health, dataset ecmv-9xxi.

What are the top bars in 78728?

9 businesses holding a Texas mixed-beverage permit reported sales in ZIP 78728 for August 2026, totalling $489,055 in alcohol receipts — #29 by those sales of the 47 Austin-area ZIP codes that reported that month. The highest-grossing that month were EDDIE'S TAVERN ($116,747), TEXAS ROADHOUSE ($78,098), TEXAS BAR & GRILL ($58,557). "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 78728?

No economic data is published on this site at ZIP level, so the honest answer is the county one: 78728 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 78728. Sources: U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics and U.S. Census Bureau via FRED (Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis).

Where these numbers come from

  • 311 service requests: City of Austin Open Data Portal, dataset xwdj-i9he. Newest request on this page: September 17, 2026. A 311 request records that someone reported something, not that the condition was verified.
  • Code enforcement cases: City of Austin Open Data Portal, dataset 6wtj-zbtb. A case is an allegation that was investigated, not a finding.
  • Restaurant inspections: Austin Public Health, dataset ecmv-9xxi. Published in irregular batches with weeks of lag. Newest scored inspection in this ZIP: August 22, 2026. A score grades one visit on one day against a checklist; it is not a rating of a restaurant.
  • Mixed-beverage receipts: Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, dataset naix-2893. Figures here are for August 2026, the most recent published month. Covers only businesses holding a mixed-beverage permit, and only their alcohol sales.
  • ZIP boundary: U.S. Census Bureau 2020 ZIP Code Tabulation Areas, generalized for display (7.7 sq mi of land in 78728). Display geometry only: no figure on this page is assigned to a ZIP by this polygon — the ZIP on every record comes from the publishing agency.
  • County economy: U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics and U.S. Census Bureau, retrieved from FRED, Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis. County-level only — this site holds no ZIP-level economic figures and estimates none.
  • Twelve-month and 30-day windows are computed when the aggregates are rebuilt each night, not at the moment you load the page. This site publishes no crime data and no safety score for any ZIP, and no council-district figures — ZIP codes do not nest inside council districts.
