68 Parks Improved on It's My Park Day! It’s My Park Day, March 6, 2010, is our annual community service day focused on improvements to Austin’s park system. Individuals and community groups lead projects. An incredible 68 projects were planned and carried out by our stupendous volunteers! From building trails to spreading mulch, volunteers were out in force making Austin's parks greener. At left, planting ground covers at Republic Square Park. 1600 plants were put in around the new deck! See pictures and more on our It's My Park Day page.
