In addition to marketing and outreach being directed to traditionally marginalized communities, community leaders should be identified who might be willing to share stories and experiences around Zilker Park. In addition, pop-up events that take place across Austin should be identified using an equity lens tool. The marketing and outreach used to execute the equity and inclusion strategy will be guided by the following principles. Principles 1. Invite community members that are representative of Austin’s demographics, including a wide range of ages, races, ethnicities and hard-to-reach residents. 2. Reduce barriers to participation by creating a fun, culturally sensitive, inclusive and engaging process that allows for honest feedback. 3. Establish a respectful and reciprocal partnership with the community to better understand resident needs and priorities and to inform the development of the Vision Plan. 4. Increase education and understanding through tailored, engaging content that helps communities develop a deeper understanding of the Vision Plan. 5. PARD and the Project Team should commit to ongoing learning and improving throughout the process. 6. Develop and execute a process that advances systemic equity. Language Access Language Access will be a key component in outreach and engagement within Austin. We know many community members prefer communication in their primary language at home, so PARD is committed to providing opportunities for information and feedback to these community members for engagement techniques and events. Digital and Non-Digital Access PARD also acknowledges there is a digital divide when it comes to access to online materials. While many individuals do not have home computers, data shows the digital divide is shrinking, especially when considering smartphone access. Online efforts should accommodate smartphone dimensions.

Some community members desired a skate park and bike pump track. Community feedback on final plan Parks Board City Council Lots of community support to preserve the natural area and trees as a passive recreation area, not a golf course. Strong community desire against these traditionally urban amenities Parks Board did not support a golf course at WEL and recommended the plan as presented. The final plan compromised to provide an adventure play area that would be geared toward recreation for older teenagers (13+) Council did not support the decision of a golf course or a public/private partnership. Adventure play retained as part of overall approved plan. New ped/bike bridge crossing LBL to the island in the lake then to the parkland to the south No ped/bike bridge crossing LBL to the island then to the parkland to the south Included language that stated No new ped/bike bridge until IH- 35 and Pleasant Valley ped/bike crossing are improved first. Given District Park New off leash area Existing longtime residents were opposed to this use. The final plan does not include an off leash area. NW District Park Strong community desire to increase the health and visual appeal of the pond. WPD engineers recommended an expanded pond to increase habitat and improve pond health. Due to existing pond disruption and removal of existing mature trees, the community feedback called for the existing pond layout to remain. The final plan retains the pond layout with no tree removal.
