Soma Austin will be participating in the annual 'It's My Park! Day' with the Austin Parks Foundation, the Greenbelt Guardians and other community participants as we work to restore our community parks.

It's My Park! Day is on April 12th from 9:00am - 1:00pm.
We will be working on one of two Barton Creek Greenbelt locations, either at the Gus Fruh entrance or the Homedale entrance.  Work projects can include invasive species removal, trail repairs and general improvement.

FAQs from Austin Parks Foundation

Can I bring my dog?
If the park is a designated off-leash area, you can bring your dog. Keep in mind that it may be hard to supervise your dog while doing work, and that there will be a lot of people present.

Can I bring my child?
Children under 15 should be accompanied by an adult. Some projects may not be appropriate for children. If the project leader has not specified a minimum age, you may want to email them directly.

What should I bring with me?
Wear sunscreen, a hat, and sturdy shoes. Bring a refillable water bottle, if you have one. Bring work gloves if you have them. Your project leader may request you bring tools - be sure to read their emails as the event day approaches.
