People of the Parks
Welcome to People of the Parks, the official podcast of Austin Parks Foundation! Join hosts Katie and Suzy as we explore the city’s nearly 400 parks, trails and green spaces, and talk about what goes into maintaining them. We’ll highlight some of Austin’s most iconic parks, and introduce you to some hidden gems. We’ll chat with the people who help shape our parks system, and those who love to use them. At APF, we believe that ALL people are parks people - and that includes you! Join us for a new episode each month and be sure to keep an eye out for surprise bonus episode drops. In the meantime, we’ll see you outside!
