Spurs Give and APF are working in partnership with the City of Austin and PARD to create safe play spaces and foster active lifestyles for families by rebuilding, refurbishing and updating community parks and basketball courts. Improvements to the basketball courts at Dove Springs District Park, Garrison District Park and Walnut Creek Metropolitan Park have been completed. These renovations included resurfacing and restriping the court, replacing the goals, and new benches and lights.
Play ATX is an expansion of the Spurs Give program “Play SA,” which began in San Antonio in 2020.
“We are so excited and grateful to partner with the Spurs for this special program,” said Colin Wallis, CEO of Austin Parks Foundation. “Our Parks & Recreation department is severely underfunded and partnerships like this help amplify our work and allow us to make much-needed improvements to our city’s parks. Outdoor activities, such as playing basketball, are so important, not only to foster a sense of community but for the tremendous physical and mental health benefits.”
