Grant Description:
Our group; 9th Street BMX, are the official adopters of Duncan Park
through the
Austin Park Foundation’s Adopt-A-Park program.
We have volunteered over 25 years of manual labor to transform the
South side of Duncan Park into an internationally recognized collection
of bicycle jumps and trails. Our group’s contributions and goals
for Duncan Park provide a positive influence in the community that
encourages healthy outdoor activities, diversity, and park stewardship.
We work with the
Austin Parks Foundation (APF) and the
City of Austin Parks and Recreation Department (PARD)
towards common goals. This cooperation has led to an opportunity
to apply for an
Austin Park Foundation’s Community Grant.
This grant will provide for the following project goals
and park amenities in South Duncan Park:
- Native Landscaping / Native Trees/ Revegetation
- Trail Kiosk – Informational / Historical Signage
- Bicycle Tool Station
- Seating Areas – benches, picnic tables
- 9th Art Sculpture Installation
