The Austin Parks Foundation just celebrated the opening and completion of St. John Park’s redevelopment with a ribbon-cutting ceremony in late March. St. John Park underwent a complete overhaul after receiving a $100,000 grant from the Austin Parks Foundation (APF). The Northeast Austin project broke ground in November 2018.
All told, over $450,000 was put toward the park’s redevelopment. The APF grant combined with funding from the City of Austin’s 2012 Bond funding, additional funds from APF and a community gift from Sunrise Mini Mart supported the transformation of the park. The project includes an entry plaza, park info kiosk, water fountain, pavilion, playscape and swings.
