BUDA — The future Eastside Park, a project to expand access to green space on the east side of IH-35, is entering a new stage of planning, improvement and funding this month. At its Feb. 3 meeting, Buda City Council voted 7-0 to approve the final Eastside Park concept and authorized city staff to finalize the Eastside Park Master Plan.
The purchase, design and construction of Eastside Park is included in the 2021 Buda Bonds Project under Prop B. The city allocated $8 million and Hays County additionally supplied $2 million through its 2020 Parks and Open Space Bond.
According to a news release, Buda acquired an approximately 30-acre parcel in June 2024 for the future park. Located at 1645 Hillside Terrance, the site is next to Tom Green Elementary School and near the Green Meadows subdivision. The land was purchased with $6.1 million of the bond allocation and identified by the city “as a high-potential site for future park development to serve neighborhoods on the city’s east side.”
