This is what the Murchison Playground will look like:
Murchison Playground will be at the corner of Far West Blvd. and Hart Ln., right next to the pool. There will be climbers, spinners and swings (oh my). Here’s the thing – it’s also going to have a lot of SHADE. Here’s that same plan, that also shows where the canopies will be placed:
For any of our friends who like to see the blueprints, here you go.
Your donation is critical to help us reach our fundraising goals. While we work on getting some grants from Austin Parks Foundation and the Neighborhood Partnering Program, we've set a goal of raising one-half the money needed to build the park. That's about $165,000. All donations are tax-deductible, and any amount helps.
A donation at or over $100 will get a yard sign to proudly show how you are helping build the playground, and that we ❤ play. Donations at various levels also earn you a brick with your name on it... or more. See the chart here for more details.
If you prefer to donate by check, make it payable to “Austin Parks Foundation” and write “Murchison Playground” in the memo line. Mail the check to Austin Parks Foundation, 507 Calles St #116, Austin, TX 78702

Central Texas is in a long drought cycle, despite occasional rain. Dry NWACA landscapes and the homes within are vulnerable to wildfire because we live in a greenbelt with a lot of wildfire fuel in its dead and down material. Our homes are most at risk from flying embers. They can be made relatively safe by removing debris, sealing all points of entry from flying embers, and clearing dead and dry vegetation. If you haven’t yet done so, please get a free home assessment to help you identify your risks. Use the Home Firewise Risk Evaluation form in the Be Involved menu on the home page.
