Save Zilker

Are you a Great Lawn person or Springs person?

The Great Lawn is the center of rec sports, dog life, and a backyard we can all enjoy.

The Springs is a magical 68° oasis in the center our city.

Which do you prefer?

🧐 Curious how big the 5,000 seat amphitheater proposed to go on the Great Lawn is?

Just head 3 miles over to the 5,000 seat Moody Amphitheater that is operated by Live Nation at Waterloo Park ➡️

Want something closer? Head 1 mile over to the Long Center’s Concert Park ➡️

Do you want an amphitheater on the Great Lawn?

💔 We already lose the lawn for 4 of its most usable months due to events.

📣 Email City Council. This is not going to a public vote, City Council will vote on your behalf. Link in bio!

⁉️If Parks & Rec can’t maintain Zilker now, how will they maintain it after adding an amphitheater, concessions, a welcome center, and 3 parking garages?

💰$200M is just the (under)estimate to 🏗️build all this stuff on the park. Maintaining these items adds lifelong daily costs and personnel to Zilker.

Not once does the Vision Plan address issues like trash.

If they can’t handle keeping the park clean now, how can we trust them to maintain it after the implementation of the Zilker Vision Plan?

🚫We don’t need an amphitheater or parking garages to Save Zilker.

✅We need groundskeepers, trash cans, active maintenance, and park personnel on site.

The current Zilker maintenance budget is $1.7M. 🧐Perhaps we figure out how to take care of what we do have before adding $200M more things we can’t maintain.

📣 🆘 Email city council your concerns on the ZVP as the public will not get a vote. Link in bio.
