About
Join the Waller Creek Conservancy in celebrating Waller Creek during the Spring It's My Park Day!
The Conservancy's mission focuses on transforming and sustaining Austin’s Waller Creek creating an extraordinary urban place that connects, surprises, and inspires all of us. This includes an effort to connect 1.5 miles along the stream with a series of parks and trails through the heart of downtown from Lady Bird Lake all the way up to the University of Texas.
This spring we're going to focus on the southern reach of the creek near Lady Bird Lake - The Waller Creek Delta. This area is beautiful with deeper waters, lounging turtles, ducks and herons and dense vegetation--but because this is the mouth of the stream trash and debris collects after rain events. To tackle this we’ll have a bank team and creek team; be prepared to get dirty, maybe a little wet and to develop a new relationship with your urban creek!
