Polishing Walter E. Long park
Tuesday, October 2, 2018 by Katy McElroy
The Parks and Recreation Department is currently developing a master plan for the future of Walter E. Long Metropolitan Park in East Austin. Community input is an important part of the process to ensure that Austin’s largest park remains accessible to and enjoyable for all. It is full of facilities, such as hiking and biking trails, boat ramps, and volleyball courts, and enhancement ideas include camping areas, better trails, event venues and more. The third, family-friendly community meeting is on Wednesday, Oct. 24, 6- 8 p.m., at Decker Middle School.
