Go ahead: Say things about parks

Austin’s Parks and Recreation Department is in the process of honing its 2017-2021 strategic plan and those who want to say something about the department now (instead of in five years) have another week to do so, thanks to a last-minute, one-week extension of the public comment period. At the moment, there aren’t many responses in the official city discussion of the plan, and Austin has only until Sept. 23 to change that.
