It's My Park Day

Your Parks, Your Community! It's My Park Day is Austin Parks Foundation's biannual, community-led day of service. Volunteers work to improve parks and green spaces around Austin and build community through park activation events and projects like litter cleanup, potlucks, tree mulching, fitness classes, invasive species management and more. The first Saturday of March and November, It’s My Park Day brings volunteers from across Austin together to improve their local parks and build community. All projects are led by community members to encourage neighbors to come out, lend a hand and connect with fellow park lovers from all walks of life. This is a day many look forward to all year as we celebrate the people and parks that make Austin special! CAN'T DECIDE? USE OUR PARK PICKER! Every year we get thousands of volunteers on this city-wide day of volunteering on parkland, but there many projects with an abundance of volunteers while others have not quite enough. We want to see a more even distribution of volunteers across Austin and that's where you can help! Sign up using the Park Picker event to be assigned to a project that needs you most!

Parks are essential to our way of life, and our park system needs support to continue providing all Austinites with the safe green spaces they deserve. Austin Parks Foundation offers plenty of ways to support and activate your favorite parks yearround. Questions?
