In partnership with the Downtown Austin Alliance and the City of Austin, the Austin Parks Foundation began its effort to shine the spotlight on Republic Square Park in 2016 – to honor its important role in our city’s history and increase its potential for the future. Improvements to Republic Square Park included new irrigation systems, new grading, retaining walls, lawns, plantings and hardscape, as well as the design and construction of a new vendor building.
Benz Resource Group provided project management services through the design and construction phases. The park reopened in Fall 2017 and the small public bathroom and cafe building are anticipated to be complete later this year.
