Austin Parks Foundation

This morning Austin Parks Foundation was joined by C3 Presents, City Council members and Austin Parks and Recreation Department at Montopolis Neighborhood Park for the big ACL check presentation!

The 2025 Austin City Limits Music Festival (ACL) generated $8.5M for Austin’s Parks – and that money comes directly from festival-goers like you! When you purchase a ticket to ACL or enjoy a beverage at the fest, a portion of those proceeds goes right back into our parks.

Proceeds from the 2025 ACL Festival will be allocated to dozens of park projects across all 10 City Council districts. These funds support APF’s goal of providing equitable access to green spaces across all districts through park improvement projects, including It’s My Park Day, ACL Festival activations, community project design services, the community-initiated ACL Music Festival Parks Grant Program and more. Projects include but are not limited to:

🛝Chestnut Pocket Park (District 1): Playground replacement
🌼Grand Meadow Neighborhood Park (District 2): Phase 1 construction
🌳Onion Creek Metro Park (District 2): Establishing Austin’s first All Abilities Playground
🏀Sport Court Improvements (Districts 1-10): Improvements to city courts
🌱Greenbelts and Preserves (Districts 5, 7, and 8): Trail improvements and volunteer stewardship

just wrapped up, and we want to highlight all of our April volunteer projects. Last month we hosted Community Volunteer Events, corporate volunteers and an Earth Day project!
