Because of Covid, Austin Parks’ It’s My Park Day has become more restricted, and a little “iffy”. While we have applied to join IMP (but haven’t heard back at time of writing) we’ve decided to go ahead with our usual Park Work Day (with coffee and tacos) on that day regardless.

Volunteers can sign up at the entrance on the 6th if you haven’t been able to do so on the Parks site, and we’ll do the same work either way.

With the Northern Walnut Creek Trail construction about to start – roughly following our main trail – use of that trail likely will be curtailed during work hours. Our intrepid trail developer Gary Brewer has laid out and partially cleared an “inner loop” of similar length which will allow continual use of the park during construction, and this route needs substantial clearing. This will be the primary task during the work day on Nov 6th.

So you can sign up online if it works, or just show up at the Walnut Bluffs trailhead at 9:00 a.m. or thereabouts. And don’t forget about those tacos and coffee!
