Access, Equity, and Inclusion
Connect all in our Austin community to the Zilker Park experience with a focus on access, equity, and inclusivity to sustainably address the environment, culture and history of Zilker Metropolitan Park.
Our Work
Zilker 351 Goals and Projects for 2025.
Three priorities for the year ahead — access and inclusion, communications, and environmental stewardship — all in service of the park and everyone who loves it.
Communications
Create awareness and share information about Zilker 351 and its work.
Environmental and Stewardship Projects
Champion and support park projects and/or programs that Zilker 351 completes together in collaboration with the City of Austin/APR.
A signature project
The Zilker Woodland Tree Canopy Project
Outlined in the 2022 Zilker Park Natural Resource Inventory & Management Guidelines commissioned by Barton Springs Conservancy, this project aims to provide shade along trails, improve the user experience, reduce downslope water travel and allow infiltration, improve water quality, reduce impervious-cover heating, and improve carbon capture.
Shade
Cooler, more comfortable trails
Water
Better infiltration and water quality
Heat
Less impervious-cover heating

Be part of the year ahead
From listening sessions to tree plantings, there are many ways to help advance these goals for Zilker Park.
