In November, the partnering agencies of Conversation Corps invite everyone to join an important discussion about the value of city parks.

Themes from the conversation will inform decisions and guide collaborative partnerships between Capital Metro, Austin ISD and the city of Austin. 

During the month of November, the agencies want to know: What do you see as the most significant benefit as well as the most significant challenges associated with hosting special events on Austin parkland?

Austin has appointed a Parkland Events Task Force to determine how all city parks—especially Zilker Park, Auditorium Shores and Festival Beach—can be assets for Austin’s residents and still host events.

Input from Conversation Corps meetings this month will be reviewed by the task force and used in the recommendations they make to the Austin City Council.

Join us at 8 a.m. Nov. 19 at Barrington Elementary School, 400 Cooper Drive.
