Tell us what you want to do in our new parks & win prizes!
This summer and fall 2018, we’re taking our public meetings to you! We want to know what you like to do in Austin, what you wish there was more of, and how our new parks can fulfill our mission for Waller Creek: to be for the benefit of all.
Waller Creek Conservancy staff is undergoing a community engagement process to build stronger and broader relationships with Austin residents and community-based organizations across the city as we develop a plan for cultural and educational programs in the parks. We are excited to speak to everyone, and are making special efforts to focus on how Waller Creek can advance equity in Austin.
