SUMMARY:Travis County Parks Comprehensive Plan Public Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Travis County Parks is conducting public engagement to inform our 2026 Travis County Comprehensive Parks Plan. Join us for our first round of public workshops on Jan. 29th or Jan. 30th. \nTravis County is an ecologically and socially diverse community that is rapidly growing. Travis County Parks include spaces as diverse as Pace Bend\, Reimer’s Ranch\, and Southeast Metro Park\, as well as iconic destinations like Hamilton Pool\, Hippie Hollow\, and Richard Moya Park. The creation of a County Comprehensive Parks Plan will allow the community to determine the priorities and desires in protecting and improving these increasingly important green spaces. \nTravis County will collaborate across departments and with multiple partners to gather public feedback and create the new Comprehensive Parks Plan. Relevant Organizations\, including the Travis County Parks Foundation and area recreation experts\, will guide and advise the process. The National Park Service Rivers\, Trails and Conservation Assistance Program (RTCA) will help with meeting facilitation\, public engagement\, and planning. Mend Collaborative will develop the comprehensive plan based on expert and public feedback. \nIn order to accurately reflect the public’s opinions and desires for the future of Travis County’s parks\, we plan to work closely with area stakeholders\, residents\, and local government and non-profit organizations over the next several months. Through surveys\, participatory mapping\, and public workshops\, citizens will have an opportunity to provide detailed input regarding the parks\, including their appearance\, amenities\, and programming. This input will be used to develop and refine the Comprehensive Parks Plan.

Together\, we’ll explore what it takes to turn bold ideas into thriving community assets. \nYou can order your ticket here. \nSpeakers: \n\nKit Sawers\, CEO of Klyde Warren Park\nRob Walters\, Board Chair of Klyde Warren Park\nApril Allen\, President & CEO of Southern Gateway Park\n\nModerator: \n\nMelissa Barry\, Chief Program Officer\, Downtown Austin Alliance
