Great Austin Parks, a broad, city-wide coalition of park advocacy, neighborhood and community organizations will hold a press conference at City Hall Plaza Tuesday, August 27 at 10:30 am to urge in the strongest possible terms that City Council take immediate steps to reverse the decades long trend of eroding parks maintenance funding.  Great Austin Parks leadership will detail their case that $4.75 million in additional parks maintenance is needed this budget cycle to avert disaster and begin to restore Austin parks to a reasonable level of maintenance that will protect them for future generations.
