Zilker Great Lawn opens today
Monday, November 5, 2018 by Elizabeth Pagano
Here’s some good – if temporarily good – news: Zilker Park’s Great Lawn is once again open to the public today. The lawn has been closed longer than usual, after the Austin City Limits Festival and rain (and rain and more rain) delayed park maintenance. The maintenance is still ongoing, but the lawn and the volleyball courts will be open for just over a week. On Nov. 15, the volleyball court area will close again for the Trail of Lights.
