AUSTIN, Texas — Austin’s Parks and Recreation Board voted Monday to create a working group dedicated to preserving and restoring Zilker Park, as the park’s Great Lawn remains closed following damage from this year’s Austin City Limits Music Festival.
The Great Lawn has been closed since September for festival setup and has not reopened. Rain during ACL’s first weekend turned much of the lawn into mud. There is no set date for it to reopen.
The working group will focus on Zilker’s preservation, conservation, restoration and sustainability.
ACL organizers have said they will repair any areas of the park that need it, as they have in past years.
Vote in the poll below! Results will be updated LIVE on CBS Austin This Morning from 4:30 a.m. to 7 a.m.
