On November 9, Austin FC’s nonprofit arm 4ATX Foundation partnered with the City of Pflugerville and Pflugerville Parks & Recreation Department (PARD) to commission a custom mural for the latest multi-use sport court at Stone Hill Park. The multi-use sport court features basketball hoops and the Goalpher System, allowing users to pull soccer goals from the floor and transform the court into a futsal pitch, the first-of-its-kind in Texas.
The mural was designed by Austin-based artist, Emily Eisenhart, and installed by Austin-based artist Jana Swec. The mural, titled "Momentum," is a tribute to the dynamic people, activities, music and nature that make our region special. The bright, animated shapes invoke the playful celebration that lives within us all.
“4ATX is thrilled to help unveil a beautiful mural at this amazing new community space in Pflugerville,” said 4ATX Foundation Executive Director Kaitlin Mauro. “We know this mural and multi-use sport court will be a space where Pflugerville families can come together over a shared love of sports for many years to come.”

"Pflugerville Stone Hill Multi-Sport Court is a symbol of innovation and forward thinking, with the first-of-its-kind goal system in Texas, giving us the flexibility to enjoy a myriad of sports in one shared space," said Pflugerville Mayor Victor Gonzales. "This court represents a dedication to offering our residents state-of-the-art facilities that meet the diverse needs of our growing community."
To celebrate the opening of the court, the organizations hosted an event for young players and families to play, featuring food, music, and a ribbon-cutting ceremony.
