On September 8 - Friends of Dottie Jordan Park held it's first workday to prepare for our new walking trail granted by Steps to a Healthier Austin. What a success! Thank you to all 35 volunteers, PARD, Steps to a Healthier Austin, Keep Austin Beautiful, and to the University Hills Neighborhood Association. 
After a successful cleanup, we were all invited to enjoy a lunch sponsored by University Hills Association. Thank you UHNA!
As a team, we were able to clear away the underbrush from alongside the creek as well as some large trash items. This ongoing effort is going to make a huge difference in the enjoyability of our new walking trail granted by Steps to a Healthier Austin! As well, we are creating an improved greenspace for many generations to come. Thank you all!
