Plaza Saltillo Urban Paint Out

Come paint with us at Plaza Saltillo! As a popular train stop in the heart of East Austin, this urban space offers a variety of views. It is a Mexican-style plaza named for Austin's sister city, Saltillo, Coahuila, Mexico. The site operated as Austin’s main train depot for 100 years before abandonment in the 1980s. Capital Metro purchased the old train depot in 1995 for integration into future light-rail plans. The completion of the light-rail station brought with it residential and commercial properties to the area. While the area has seen lots of recent growth, the plaza still has the charm and character of old East Austin.

Please note parking is limited to street parking and paid lots around the plaza.
