As surrounding parks like Brentwood see substantial improvement and increased use by residents of North Central Austin, Wooten’s park has stayed relatively undeveloped and underutilized. We can change that – but it will take a concerted, sustained effort over a period of years, with an eye on incremental progress.
Several neighbors have expressed interest in starting a non-profit organization to lobby for and oversee improvements and maintenance of the park – the same approach taken (very successfully) by Friends of Brentwood Park. Several experienced park advocates have offered to help advise us along the way – but it will require a dedicated group of people willing to see this through.
Interested in helping? Support can come in any form – from joining us for park work days to planning conference calls with the city, attending city meetings, or meeting with area residents and businesses to gain support for the project.
