General on-site consultation to provide Adopt-A-Park groups with guidance for next steps on any park project. General Park Consultations give park adopters the chance to consult with our in-house landscape architect.

Austin Parks Foundation's Park Developer will schedule an on-site consultation to provide general guidance for any of your park improvement projects or ideas.

Intended to help park adopters prepare their park improvement project for grant applications and to be shovel ready for construction. Detailed Park Design gives Adopt-A-Park groups access to a professional landscape architect for a specific park improvement project. Design work includes feasibility, design refinement and cost estimating.

Led by a professional Landscape Architect, this planning process guides Adopt-A-Park groups through visioning and creating an official park concept plan. The park planning and visioning process gives Adopt-A-Park groups access to a professional Landscape Architect. By working together and committing to meaningful public engagement, APF and the project team will encourage park users and community members to express the hopes and needs for their park. The community will form a consensus to drive the design of the plan and phasing. The overall park plan will be a useful tool for raising funds and providing next steps for implementation. 

The design offering will include all documentation for the plan to be submitted to the City of Austin Parks and Recreation Department, in hopes of official adoption as a “Concept Plan”, which can lead directly into development of the park or portion of the park if funding is available.    (Previously offered as Park Master Planning. Name of design offering has been changed to match terminology that the City of Austin - Parks and Recreation Department implemented on August 3, 2020)
