Onion Creek Club is a recognizable destination in 78747, but its member events and golf offerings should not be confused with public park access. The city directory separately identifies Grand Meadow, Slaughter Creek and Rinard Creek destinations. Choose your outing by the operator, activity and access rules that actually apply.

78747: Onion Creek club life and public park stops

3 linked sources · Checked Sep 5, 2026

Know the club destination

Onion Creek Club lists its address as 2510 Onion Creek Parkway, Austin, TX 78747. Its official events page describes member gatherings, dining events and golf competitions, with a separate membership link.[3]

A Grand Meadow park stop

Austin’s directory lists Grand Meadow Neighborhood Park at 8022 Thaxton Drive. It provides a concrete public-park address to look up when the plan is a neighborhood park visit rather than a club event.[1]

Keep the creek destinations distinct

Slaughter Creek Neighborhood Park is listed at 10413 South I-35 Service Road northbound, while Rinard Creek Greenbelt is at 10625 Bradshaw Road. A shared creek theme does not make them one entrance or one continuous route.[1]

Plan a little better

Before you go

Check club access before attending: The official Onion Creek events page is written around member activities. Contact the club about membership, guest access or a particular event instead of assuming it is open to walk-in visitors.[3]
Route to the named park: Use the address for Grand Meadow, Slaughter Creek or Rinard Creek individually. A postal map does not establish a parking area or accessible trailhead.[1][2]

A few things to know

Are Onion Creek Club events the same as public park programming?

No. The club describes member experiences on its own events page. City parks are listed separately by Austin Parks and Recreation, with their own rules and notices.[3][1]

Where does this guide place Grand Meadow Neighborhood Park?

The city directory gives 8022 Thaxton Drive, Austin, TX 78747. Look up that address when choosing this park for a visit.[1]

Restaurant health inspections in 78747

Austin Public Health has scored 130 inspections at 18 facilities in ZIP 78747, averaging 92.1/100. Of those scored visits, 90 scored 90 or above, 24 scored 80–89 and 16 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 78747’s restaurants stand today

Counting each of the 18 facilities once, at its most recent scored visit: the median score is 92.5/100, 11 currently sit at 90 or above, and 2 are below 80 (11.1% 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 18 inspected facilities. Ties are common at 100, so this is a slice of the top, not a ranking of the ZIP.

Most recently scored below 80

The 2 most recent of 2 facilities in 78747 whose last scored visit came in under 80.

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.

Bars and restaurants in 78747

78747 has 2 bars and restaurants reporting $77,425 in mixed-beverage sales in August 2026, per Texas Comptroller TABC data — #42 by those sales of the 47 Austin-area ZIP codes that reported that month. That is 0.1% 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 78747 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 78747

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 78747 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 78747.

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 78747

Where is 78747 located?

ZIP code 78747 is in Austin, Texas, in Travis County. On this site it is grouped under South & Southeast. ZIP codes are postal delivery geographies, not city or council-district boundaries, so a ZIP can cross both.

Is 78747 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: 4,989 311 service requests were filed in 78747 in the most recent 12 months of data (through September 17, 2026), 472 code enforcement cases have been opened there in total, and 12 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 78747?

131 311 service requests in ZIP 78747 were still open or in progress as of September 17, 2026 — 128 open and 3 in progress. Residents filed 4,989 requests there in the most recent 12 months of data and 413 in the most recent 30 days. Source: City of Austin 311 service requests, dataset xwdj-i9he.

How fast does Austin close 311 requests in 78747?

Half of the 311 requests opened in ZIP 78747 in the last 12 months and since closed were closed within 30 hours, and nine in ten within 20 days. That is 4.8 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 78747?

Austin Code has opened 472 enforcement cases at addresses in ZIP 78747, of which 12 are not yet closed. Closed cases took a median of 5.0 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 78747 have been inspected?

Austin Public Health has scored 130 inspections at 18 distinct facilities in ZIP 78747, averaging 92.1/100 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 78747 score on health inspections?

Taking each restaurant in ZIP 78747 at its most recent scored visit, the median score is 92.5 out of 100 across 18 facilities. 11 of them currently sit at 90 or above and 2 at their last visit came in below 80 — 11.1% of the ZIP's inspected facilities. The highest most-recent scores on file here include OOB - First Class Child Development Center 3 (100), Blazier Relief School (100), IDEA Public Schools (97). 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: June 17, 2026. Source: Austin Public Health, dataset ecmv-9xxi.

What are the top bars in 78747?

2 businesses holding a Texas mixed-beverage permit reported sales in ZIP 78747 for August 2026, totalling $77,425 in alcohol receipts — #42 by those sales of the 47 Austin-area ZIP codes that reported that month. The highest-grossing that month were ONION CREEK CLUB ($74,080), CAPITAL EVENT CENTER ($3,345). "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 78747?

No economic data is published on this site at ZIP level, so the honest answer is the county one: 78747 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 78747. 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: June 17, 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 (22.2 sq mi of land in 78747). 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.
