It’s My Park Day Makeup Date 3/11/17 10 AM
Due to the rain last Saturday, we were unable to complete the planned projects. We will try to finish the projects this Saturday 3/11 starting at 10 in the following priority
1) Mulching the remaining trees – We need to get the remaining mulch around the trees to suppress weeds and build healthy roots to survive the summer heat!
2) Trail debris clearing
3) Invasive species removal
We will work until around 2 PM, but if even if you can only spare an hour, please consider lending a hand. Thanks and we hope to see you in the park!

Balcones Park’s Creekside Trail is Approved!!
Our NPP Grant to repair the trail along the creek was APPROVED!!!
Click HERE to join the email list to get updates.
This means the Neighborhood Partnering Program will help us make much needed repairs to our trail! See Details HERE
The current paved trail is getting worse rapidly. In addition there is a endangered Jollyville Salamander’s habitat along the trail and continued erosion might cause the habitat and salamander some problems. We proposed that we fix these issues which would make the trail bike and stroller worthy and once the Connector Trail to Walnut Metro Creek Park is complete it will make for a very nice loop around the edge of Balcones Park.
In order to win this grant we promised to provide 1,522 volunteer hours in the next 2 years and $9,302 in the next 1 year!
Please help us by joining the email list above to follow the trails progress and help us with possibly needed volunteer hours or cash donations.
The Creekside Trail Repairs raised $1,900 in funds during Amplify Austin but still have a little ways to go. If you would like to help us reach our goal and see a beautiful 1+ mile loop be completed around Balcones Park! Click HERE to Donate TODAY!
Or Volunteer Saturday, March 11th from 10am to 2pm at the rescheduled It’s My Park Day!
