Parmer Lane Changes FINAL Open House
Wednesday, March 25, 4-7 p.m.
at Rattan Creek Community Center
7611 Elkhorn Mountain Trail, Austin, TX 78729

Have your voice heard on potential changes to Parmer Lane!

Parmer Lane is undergoing planning for redevelopment that could include very drastic changes. Next Wednesday there is the FINAL public open house with the Capital Area Metropolitan Planning Organization (CAMPO). This is your chance to see the latest plans, ask questions, and give feedback directly to those in charge of changes to this major artery that serves Milwood.

The open house will be at the Rattan Creek Community Center. All are welcome.

If you weren’t able to attend our community meeting last October on the potential changes, you can get up to speed on the proposals here.

A great It’s My Park Day & A HUGE THANK YOU!

A HUGE THANK YOU to all our volunteers for their help at Balcones Park’s It’s My Park Day on Sat. March 7, 2026!

A special Thank You to Erik Harris who puts so much energy and time into this event and our park all year!

Your efforts help keep our neighborhood park looking beautiful! All told, 90 amazing volunteers helped to gather up 113 trash bags worth of debris and litter to clean the park.

It’s My Park Day is biannual, community-led day of service. Volunteers work to improve parks and green spaces around Austin and build community through projects like litter cleanup, tree mulching, invasive species management and more. There’s no better way to show your love for your local park than by pitching in. Look for the next opportunity this fall!

We are planning a follow up event to finish cleaning the campsite. If anyone wants to help with that, please let us know at: balconespark (a) gmail.com

Hazardous Waste Collection – Batteries, Oil, Paint, Antifreeze, Styrofoam, Plastic Film Collection Event – Sat, April 25 at 8:30am

The Milwood Neighborhood Association will be collecting Batteries, Oil, Latex Paint, Antifreeze, Styrofoam and Plastic Film (BOPA) on Saturday, April 25, 2026 from 8:30-9:30am at St. Stephen’s Baptist Church.

We must close at 9:30am or when we fill up to be able to get the materials to the City site and unloaded before they close at noon.

We will not be accepting other household hazardous wastes including: styrofoam peanuts, oil-based paint, paint thinner or stripper, cleaning chemicals, pool chemicals, pesticides. Those have to be delivered individually, though you are welcome to follow us down there and drop them off.

This event helps us to fundraise and gain members, so it is free to MNA members that are current on their $15 annual dues. Not a member? It’s easy to skip the line and join online or at the event.

We’re also looking for volunteers for our collection event. Sign up by emailing us at mnaboard@milwoodna.com. If you’re looking for a great opportunity to help serve your neighborhood, meet your neighbors, and protect the environment, come join us!

A BIG Thanks to Our Event Sponsor & Neighbor:
