Who We Are:: Waterloo Greenway is a 1.5-mile park system with the power to bring the entire Austin community together. Once complete, the 35 acres of connected green space – meandering from 15th St. along downtown’s eastern edge to Lady Bird Lake – will be home to a wild array of natural and cultural destinations.

Developing green space among modern urban infrastructure is a growing priority throughout the City of Austin. Improving access to green space in and around the city can improve human health, revitalize ecosystems, and boost a region’s economy. However, without proper engagement and management, these projects can worsen existing socioeconomic and ecological problems or even create new ones.

Join us for a moderated panel that explores the historical disparities of Waller Creek, as well as the mission to revive Waller Creek and its surrounding green spaces for the benefit of all.

This event is part of the following event series: Waterloo Green Days
