5TH ANNUAL WALLER CREEK CONSERVANCY POP-UP PICNIC SHIP OPPORTUNITIES The Pop-Up Picnic is a beloved community event, bringing Austinites from all over the city together to experience incredible food and company, all in an urban park. The picnic previews what s to come on a transformed Waller Creek.
Future Waterloo Park and Moody Amphitheater WALLER CREEK TRANSFORMATION Waller Creek is a game-changer for Austin. Waller Creek Conservancy has joined forces with the City of Austin to implement a truly iconic and outstanding design for the lower 1.5-mile section of Waller Creek; aiming to create an all-inclusive space that renews the natural environment, fosters the creative arts, and nourishes health through authentic and uplifting experiences. This new district of parks will connect and inspire our community, linking together key elements of Austin s identity, including: UT, the Texas Capitol grounds, a growing medical complex, our famous music and entertainment districts, Austin s Convention Center, Rainey Street district, Butler Hike-and-Bike Trail, and Lady Bird Lake. Waller Creek Conservancy is at work implementing this chain of parks, designed by renowned landscape architect Michael Van Valkenburgh Associates, that will restore native creek ecology and include bike and pedestrian trails integrated with Austin s trail network, interactive playscapes, and a worldclass, new performance venue, The Moody Amphitheater at Waterloo Park.
