Thanks to the generosity of our neighbors, sponsors, and Austin Parks Foundation, Friends of Patterson Park raised an astounding $11,450 during our 2024 Amplify Austin campaign. We pooled the support of 78 individual donors, six sponsors, an in-kind donation of a petting zoo at our Amplify party by Tiny Tails, and a $3,500 match from Austin Parks Foundation. This funding will support our mission of building a stronger community and making our park a more welcoming place for ALL! Thank you, friends and neighbors!

Kick Off Party

Our March 5th Amplify kick off party was a blast! The weather was perfect, the petting zoo donated by Tiny Tails to You was a huge hit with all ages, kids made beautiful flower stencils and rock paintings, and we ran out of ice cream twice! To see how much joy being part of this park community brings our neighbors, watch the short video of the party. This work couldn’t happen without the support of our community partners, neighbors and volunteers!

What’s next?

We have a lot planned for the next few weeks! Our annual Egg Hunt is on Saturday, March 30, and a new spring Yoga in the Park series starts up on April 11.
