78734: Lakeway City Park’s paths and gathering spaces
Lakeway City Park at 502 Hurst Creek Road welcomes both residents and visitors. Its municipal facility page describes connected paths, play areas and reservable spaces, with a separate process for group gatherings.
2 linked sources · CheckedPlay and sport choices
The City lists playground facilities, basketball, sand volleyball and a baseball field alongside picnic areas and restrooms. Choose the activity and its actual location before setting a meeting point.[2]
Some gathering areas can be reserved
The City identifies reservable pavilion and picnic-table areas. A planned group event has arrangements beyond ordinary individual park access.[2]
Plan a little better
Before you go
- Review group requirements
- Lakeway publishes permit and reservation requirements for gatherings. Check the current rules before inviting a group or assuming an unreserved pavilion is available.[2]
- Check field availability
- Ranger Field can be used for informal recreation when it is not reserved. Review the facility calendar and rules when planning an organized practice.[2]
A few things to know
Is City Park only for Lakeway residents?
The City’s facility page invites residents and guests and describes the park as public. Check the current facility information for the activity you intend to use.[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]

Where 78734’s restaurants stand today
Counting each of the 123 facilities once, at its most recent scored visit: the median score is 92/100, 79 currently sit at 90 or above, and 9 are below 80 (7.3% of them). That is a different measure from the visit counts above, which weigh a frequently-inspected kitchen more heavily.

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.

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 78734 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 78734
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 78734 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 78734.

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 78734
Where is 78734 located?
ZIP code 78734 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 78734 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: 247 311 service requests were filed in 78734 in the most recent 12 months of data (through September 17, 2026), 43 code enforcement cases have been opened there in total, and 2 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 78734?
9 311 service requests in ZIP 78734 were still open or in progress as of September 17, 2026 — 8 open and 1 in progress. Residents filed 247 requests there in the most recent 12 months of data and 22 in the most recent 30 days. Source: City of Austin 311 service requests, dataset xwdj-i9he.
How fast does Austin close 311 requests in 78734?
Half of the 311 requests opened in ZIP 78734 in the last 12 months and since closed were closed within 25 hours, and nine in ten within 20 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 78734?
Austin Code has opened 43 enforcement cases at addresses in ZIP 78734, of which 2 are not yet closed. Closed cases took a median of 8.0 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 78734 have been inspected?
Austin Public Health has scored 859 inspections at 123 distinct facilities in ZIP 78734, averaging 90.7/100 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 78734 score on health inspections?
Taking each restaurant in ZIP 78734 at its most recent scored visit, the median score is 92 out of 100 across 123 facilities. 79 of them currently sit at 90 or above and 9 at their last visit came in below 80 — 7.3% of the ZIP's inspected facilities. The highest most-recent scores on file here include LW - Justin Credible BBQ Co., LLC (100), LW - Spicebox Kitchen (100), Sneha's Vegetarian Kitchen, LLC (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 20, 2026. Source: Austin Public Health, dataset ecmv-9xxi.
What are the top bars in 78734?
21 businesses holding a Texas mixed-beverage permit reported sales in ZIP 78734 for August 2026, totalling $708,426 in alcohol receipts — #24 by those sales of the 47 Austin-area ZIP codes that reported that month. The highest-grossing that month were LAKEWAY RESORT AND SPA ($125,640), SANTA CANTARINA RESTAURANT ($83,346), CANYON GRILLE ($78,656). "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 78734?
No economic data is published on this site at ZIP level, so the honest answer is the county one: 78734 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 78734. 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 20, 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 (18.9 sq mi of land in 78734). 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.
