Great Lawn to close for two weeks
Thursday, October 17, 2024 by Tai Moses
Thinking of taking a picnic to the Great Lawn at Zilker Park this Saturday? Think again. With peak summer and fall event season behind us, it’s time for annual fall lawn maintenance. That means closing the 46-acre green space to foot traffic so city workers may aerate, irrigate and fertilize to keep the lawn looking green and fluffy and lawn-y all year-round. The lawn will be closed from Oct. 19 to Nov. 1, weather and work pace allowing.
