The park will include a children's play area, a dog park, recreation spaces, interactive water fountains, and a performance space for concerts and artwork. It will also feature a monument of public art by fabric artist Janet Echelman. The $38 million project is funded through a public and private partnership, and the park will be maintained through donations and the generosity of local citizens.

SUMMARY: Since Austin adopted its fireworks ordinance, the storage, use, and handling of fireworks within city limits became illegal. Initially, the Austin Fire Department (AFD) managed compliance, deploying engine and truck companies to reported violations. However, this approach burdened the emergency response system and 911 dispatchers. In the late 90s, the city shifted to a 311 hotline for reporting non-emergency violations, transitioning responsibility to the Austin Police Department (APD). Despite this change, AFD maintains a street presence, and the Fire Marshal's Office continues to issue citations and prosecute those responsible for fires caused by fireworks.
