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

Don’t use the Great Lawn at Zilker for ACL or the Trail of Lights—they result in closure of our public space for 3 months, ruining the grass

Connect East Austin and South Austin

Focus on building out trails/bridges that connect South Austin (E. Riverside) to East Austin. The 35 bridge passage is loud and unpleasant. The dam crossing east of there narrow and treacherous.

Improve North South greenways

Focus on N/S green arteries, e.g. South Austin: Bouldin greenbelt, Stacey to Lady Bird Lake trail system.

make our parks radio/boom box/car radio/cd player free. I am opposed to small gatherings where people turn loud music on. Keep parks quiet

Make parks quiet places—not loud music places for any private group such as family picnic to crank up their music without a care that others picnicking nearby don’t like to hear loud music in the parks unless it’s a music festival
