HERITAGE CIRCLE
What is the Heritage Circle?
The Heritage Circle celebrates those whose legacy is written not in stone, but in sunlight through the trees, the crunch of leaves beneath curious feet, and the laughter echoing down winding trails. By including Austin Parks Foundation in their estate plans, these visionaries help ensure that parks, trails, and green spaces remain vibrant, protected, and welcoming to all for generations to come. A planned gift is more than a gesture; it’s a promise that your love for nature will bloom in every wildflower, whisper in every breeze, and thrive in every future explorer’s joyful footsteps.
