The Batteries, Oil, Paint & Antifreeze Collection was a success!!

We collected from 84+ households and raised $286 for Balcones Park!

We had such a large response in fact that at 9:50am we had a completely FULL trailer and van! A Huge Thanks to H & H Design and Build Inc (Karl Hanson) who loaded all morning, sponsored the event and even unloaded! Another Huge Thanks to Joanie A, John M, Carolyn S, Lynnette T, Bethany M, Tim M, Garry B, Ed E, Dale B, Sharon R, Jean M, Penny K, Theresa T, Timur T, John M, Charlie, AND St. Stephen’s Baptist Church! So great to see so many friendly faces and help get so much BOPA to the best spot!

Don’t Forget if you have Styrofoam – Lynnette T. is here to help. Simply make sure it is dry, clean & bagged and place on her front porch at 12011 Trianon.

A BIG Thanks to Our Event Sponsor & Neighbor: H&H Build and Design

Thanks Karl for helping us make this event possible!

Earth Day Clean-up in Balcones Park – Sat, April 22, 9am

The Friends of Balcones Park are teaming with Austin Parks Foundation to do an Earth Day project on April 22, Saturday, 9am-12noon. Priority 1 -finish clearing debris from the “creekside” trail in the park/greenbelt. We made a good start on this on It’s My Park Day! This work will count towards our grant for repairing the chuckholes in the trail.

If we get done, or have lots of people, we will move down to the creek/greenbelt by Mopac and clean trash.

Note, this is not a kid-friendly project as there will be lots of rocks and large branches to move.

If you are interested, the sign up link is here. https://givepul.se/o21gm
