This community-developed plan lays the foundation for implementing major improvements to the existing 3.9-mile Shoal Creek Trail, extending the trail by nearly nine miles, and connecting it to the Walnut Creek Trail north of US 183. Ultimately, the extended Shoal Creek Trail will become part of a 30-mile continuous “Big Loop” of urban trails traversing the city from Lady Bird Lake to Walnut Creek Metropolitan Park. The Plan is the result of a more than one-year-long public process in partnership with the Shoal Creek Conservancy, the City of Austin and community stakeholders.

REMINDER: NORTH SHOAL CREEK COMMUNITY GARDEN TOUR
NOV. 8, 2-4 PMOur North Shoal Creek Community Garden has been selected as part of Austin Design Week 2018. The event/tour takes place on Thursday, November 8, from 2 to 4 p.m.
Using design thinking, our neighborhood identified a community need and came together to create a space to foster the neighborhood’s identity, encourage neighbors to gather socially, engage with the land through gardening, and provide educational opportunities to the students at Pillow Elementary.
At this event, facilitators Sarah Brandon and Jennifer Noinaj we will share a brief history and background of the neighborhood’s community garden, highlighting how we solicited community input, how design was involved, and how we worked with the city on this project. We’ll walk through the garden itself and leave you with some lessons that we learned, ways we are giving back with this project, and ideas on where and how you can start designing for your own community.
For more info on the garden, visit https://www.nscna.org/garden
