Ausitn Parks
Foundation
The Austin Parks Foundation (APF) is a
non-profit organization devoted to building
public/private partnerships to develop and
maintain parks, trails, and open space in
Austin and Travis County. APF takes a
hands-on approach to making improvements

the City of Austin Parks & Recreation

preserve public lands for future generations.
