Hemphill Park offers a creekside walk past beautiful old homes

Description: Two parks in one! A short greenbelt topped with a tucked-away park with basketball courts and room to throw a Frisbee.

North University Neighborhood Association (NUNA) has adopted the park. In 2007, they were awarded an Austin Parks Foundation grant to purchase and install new trash cans.

The group held a large volunteer workday in November, 2007. Mark Feist, project organizer, reports, "It looks like a new park! We took out many dump truck loads of debris and trash from the creek." Before holding the event, Mark worked with the City Parks Department and Watershed Protection to have the area mowed and brush removed. Volunteers were then able to remove rocks and other obstructions to make future mowing easier. This is a great example of how adopting a neighborhood park creates a partnership between the city and the neighborhood. The group held an It's My Park! Day event on April 12, 2008, with 60 neighbors attending.
