Tillery Neighborhood Park Survey #3
Tillery Neighborhood Park Survey #3
The 2.5 acres of undeveloped parkland in the Govalle Neighborhood is located at 1129 Tillery Street Austin, Texas 78702 and was acquired by the City of Austin Parks and Recreation Department in May 2024. The parkland's beautiful pecan grove will be preserved. We will protect the trees, incorporate walking paths and provide benches and picnic tables. This third survey will help us determine priorities for other park improvements. Your feedback is appreciated. All questions are optional.

A Note to the Community
Please keep in mind, the shape of the area and layout for the play equipment and nature play features are still in the design process. Materiality and color of equipment are subject to change due to multiple factors, including, but not limited to, the following factors: budget, maintenance, and accessibility. The design team is looking to ensure that the equipment fits the natural feeling of the grove and plans on using natural-colored materials when possible.
Nature play encourages exploration, creativity, and interaction with the natural environment. These spaces often incorporate natural elements to encourage physical activity, creativity, and environmental stewardship. By incorporating nature play we aim to foster a deeper appreciation for the environment and create meaningful, enjoyable play experiences for children of all ages. Through the introduction of nature play we hope to align with the context/setting of the park, honoring the natural feel of the space while providing new and interesting features for everyone to enjoy in the park.
Below are some examples of nature play elements. Please rank your choices from favorite to least favorite.
Do you have any other thoughts regarding nature play that you would like to share?
The design team is exploring ideas to enhance the connection to nature and the unique character of the pecan grove. One possibility is a pecan shelling station. We'd love your feedback on this idea or suggestions for other features that celebrate the grove's sense of place.
Our previous survey revealed a strong interest in adding swings to the park. The design team is moving forward with plans to include a swing set, and we're considering a design similar to the one shown below. This configuration offers versatility for a wide range of users, featuring one tot swing (A), one belt swing (B), and one nest swing (C). We'd love to hear your thoughts on this proposed design!
Our previous two surveys indicated an interest in incorporating traditional play elements into the park. To align with these preferences, we're collaborating with a playground consultant to select equipment that complements the park's natural aesthetic. The image below showcases a variety of play elements suggested by the consultant. Please rank these items in order of your preference. Note: not all of these elements will make it into the final plan.
This project marks the first phase of improvements for the park, with potential for small additions in the future, depending on funding. If fitness equipment were to be added later, what types of exercises or fitness features would you be most interested in?
