AUSTIN, Texas —
The festival grounds at Zilker Park took a hit from the Austin City Limits Music Festival (ACL). Now cleanup of the park is underway.
In the coming days, Austinites should have regular access to the pool, nature center and botanical gardens in the Barton Springs area. The load-out has already started on Barton Springs Road, and those areas are expected to reopen after Wednesday.
As crews are working, you may notice more closures on Stratford Drive as crews continue the load-out process until Friday.
Then from Saturday, Oct. 21, until Tuesday, Nov. 1, the lawn will be closed for maintenance. Crews will work on aeration, irrigation and applying different nutrients to treat it.
The lawn maintenance happens each year to restore it after the peak summer and fall event season.
After it's back open, there should be no more total closures of the park during the holiday season.
