The Austin Parks and Recreation Department is as diverse as the community it serves.
As in so many other aspects of life, the key to running a successful department is
having the ability to strike a balance between young and old, tradition and innovation,
and the needs of one versus the needs of many. Keeping this in mind, our employees
continually strive to honor the past while embracing the challenges of the future,
and to serve an entire community while maintaining meaningful connections with individual
participants.
Austin Parks and Recreation Department has something for everyone!
Mission
The purpose of the Parks and Recreation Department is to provide, protect and preserve a Park System that promotes quality recreational, cultural and outdoor experiences for the Austin community.
