Support growing healthy food and communities by sending a contribution to Friends of Grand Meadow Park! We are a park adopter group for Grand Meadow Park in Southeast Austin where we are building our organization that aims to connect our neighbors to the ecosystem and to each other! Fruitful Commons is our 501c3 nonprofit fiscal sponsor providing much guidance for this process. We also are partnering with Austin Parks Foundation and PARD in creating a vision plan for the whole park with our community! Designs we have already begun working on are a community garden and a food forest where our community can grow free food and learn about native plants and wildlife!

Since creating our organization in 2021, we have:

• Coordinated park clean up days
• Adopted the park through Austin Parks Foundation
• Achieved nonprofit status through fiscal sponsorship with Fruitful Commons
• Built a butterfly garden
• Created a website
• Planted more wildflowers in the meadow
• Built a nature play area
• Hosted monthly community meetings
• Given away many free seeds!
• Canvased the neighborhood for community input into the new park
• Collaborated with Austin Parks Foundation Overall Park Planning Services to create the concept plan for the new park coming in 2025!!
