Date: January 7, 2022 To: Claire Hempel, Design Workshop Zilker Park Collective Comments on Interactive Map In October, our organizations sent a letter (included below) which details our top priorities for the Zilker Vision Plan. Based on our review of the latest Zilker Interactive Map and the design alternatives presented at the Community Meeting #3, we are providing additional feedback on the design alternatives. With the Zilker Park organizations supporting this letter, parking access is a top priority that must be balanced with the objectives of prioritizing the natural environment at Zilker Park. Adequate parking (in addition to improvements for other transportation modes) will ensure that visitors from all over Austin feel included and welcome. We support a parking strategy in which a significant portion of the overall number of unpaved parking spaces that may be removed from the park are first replaced elsewhere in the park and/or immediately adjacent to the park. Additional details for parking-related feedback is set forth below in the “Parking” section. We generally support the following: ● Balancing restoration and maintenance and enhancement of the natural environment with sustainable solutions for increased park visitation and parking needs. ● Efforts to protect water quality and ecological uplift opportunities, especially along waterways such as the banks of Barton Creek and Lady Bird Lake. ● Retaining the Great Lawn as a lawn (some ecological uplift without removing the opportunities ● Converting the Polo Field to additional lawn space or sports fields IF alternative parking is for the current uses of the space). found. ● Ecological uplift in the Nature Preserve Zone shown on the Interactive Map, which includes the Zilker Clubhouse and the Austin Nature and Science Center. ● Ecological uplift of landfill and Polo Field areas, either as mowed lawn area or natural area IF the parking spaces here are replicated somewhere nearby. ● One or more visitor hubs and gateways throughout the park. (This idea is an extension of the “education and welcome center” priority.) We oppose the following: ● Any reference to repurposing the Girl Scout Cabin in any way that would reduce access by the historic and current users, the Girl Scouts of Central Texas. ● Reducing existing lawn areas, which are some of the most heavily utilized areas of the park. ● Introducing vehicular traffic through the Austin Nature and Science Center (ANSC). ANSC is an educational space within a sensitive riparian zone …

1 BEVERLY S. SHEFFIELD NORTHWEST DISTRICT PARK VISION PLAN PARKS AND RECREATION BOARD MEETING Charles Mabry, Associate Project Manager, PARD Drew Carman, PLA, Director of Park Planning & Design, RVi January 25th, 2022 2 CONTEXT 31-acre park in the Allandale neighborhood. The park was acquired by the City of Austin in 1955, and was last planned in 1987. Located at 7000 Ardath Street, the park is named after former director of the Parks and Recreation Department, Beverly S. Sheffield. Park amenities include baseball fields, basketball and tennis courts, a pool, rentable picnic spaces, a pond, and trails along Shoal Creek. In 1986, in response to the devastating 1981 Memorial Day flood, Northwest Park was established as a detention facility to help with flood control efforts and much of the park was excavated so that it now stands several feet below its original height.
