With the second weekend of ACL complete, Austin Parks & Recreation staff are preparing for the Great Lawn's annual maintenance period. Details below:

With the second weekend of ACL complete, Austin Parks & Recreation staff are preparing for the Great Lawn's annual maintenance period. Current conditions resemble previous years. After event loadout is complete, APR staff will begin aerating the lawn to relieve compaction from foot traffic.
City staff are coordinating with event organizers to transition from ACL to APR's annual maintenance period and into the Trail of Lights Festival. City staff are also meeting daily with the National Weather Service to prepare for any potential rain. Safeguards will remain in place to protect the park's turf and infrastructure throughout this process.
APR staff remain committed to ensuring the organizer restores the park to its previous condition or better, restores public access to Zilker Park as soon as possible, and uses this opportunity to relieve soil compaction to improve drainage and resilience for future events as well as daily park visitors.
