Our Parks Our Future: Austin Parks and Recreation Long Range Plan

We will be hosting a week of meetings across Austin to hear from you about what Austin's parks, facilities, and programs mean to you. This is your chance to participate online if you are not able to attend a community meeting. Check out the Key Dates for event details.

We want to know:

• What's your favorite park?
• What do you love about Austin's parks?
• What does the Austin park system do well?
• What can the Austin park system improve?
  

We want to know how you get to parks and facilities. We would love to know responses to some of the following questions:

• How far are you willing to travel to parks?
• How do you get to parks and facilities? (walk/run, bike, drive, bus, taxi/rideshare)
• What would encourage you to walk, run, or bike to parks?
  

The park system includes natural areas and preservers, nature trails, wooded areas, urban plazas, community centers, skate parks, indoor and outdoor performance stages, open lawns, cultural / historic / art centers, playgrounds, golf courses, pools and water features, athletic fields, and courts for sports (among others!). 

We want to know:

• What types of facilities do you use or are most important to you?
• As a follow-up, how could these facilities better serve you?
  

The parks and facilities of Austin have tons of programs from afterschool programs and swim lessons to senior programs and services, nature and cultural education and experiences to health and fitness programs, and so many more!

We want to know:

• What programs do you use or are most important to you?
• Which programs are missing or should be expanded?
