Our team heard from 115 people in person and 146 through an online survey, with 89% of respondents from the 78702 zip code, which serves the Holly neighborhood and surrounding areas.

TrailFit Junior: Yoga with Just Keep Livin Foundation
2024-10-15 17:15 - 18:15 | Auditorium Shores, 900 W Riverside Dr, Austin, TX, 78704, United States
Join TTC and the Just Keep Livin Foundation for a special edition of TrailFit: TrailFit Junior. This community workout for high school-aged kids will feature a yoga session led by ATX Yoga Girl, Cynthia Aguillón Bernard.
Regular exercise has been proven to reduce stress, anxiety, and depression while boosting self-esteem and brain activity. In fact, exercise has many of the same effects on the brain as antidepressant medications because it triggers the release of serotonin (the happy hormone), yet 70% of high school students don’t meet the recommended daily amount of physical activity. In the JKL program, 95% of students get more exercise.
About JKL
The Just Keep Livin Foundation was founded by Camila and Matthew McConaughey and is dedicated to empowering high school students by providing them with the tools to lead active lives and make healthy choices for a better future. In keeping with the mindset and goals of j.k. livin, the foundation has set up fitness and wellness programs in Title 1 high schools where students might not otherwise have the opportunity to learn about the body and mind connection.

Join Rachel Zierzow and TTC staff, Jonatan Salinas, to find birds and observe their behavior on the new section of the Butler Trail, the Holly Trailhead, historically part of the decommissioned Holly Power Plant at Festival Beach. Recently planted native trees, shrubs, wildflowers, and natural spring water dominate the landscape and provide excellent habitats for many different species of birds. As TTC restores this new section of the trail, we will see a change of birds, so you’ll want to come on this monthly walk.
This bird walk is ideal for beginners, but all levels are welcome. We have binoculars to lend to anyone that doesn’t have a pair. Our walk will total 1-2 miles in about 3 hours, making our way through the Holly Trail and adjacent to Lady Bird Lake to listen to and look for resident birds, migrants, and flyovers. The terrain is mostly flat (dissolved gravel trail and sidewalks) and there is ADA accessibility at the Holly Trail Overlook. In winter, we will stop at the Holly Trail overlook section of the trail a bit to watch the waterfowl.
Registration is required and is limited to 10 participants. A reminder email with pertinent details will be sent before the field trip. Register HERE!

Maraca Bench Tour
2025-02-06 - 2025-09-01 | Ann and Roy Butler Hike-and-Bike Trail, Austin, TX, 78704, United States
The Maraca Bench Trail Tour 2025
The Longhorn Dam Pedestrian Bridge will mark a milestone for the Butler Trail, completing the loop so Trail users can enjoy a seamless, traffic-free experience! To celebrate, we are unveiling our new Maraca benches—a first for the Trail. Designed by Austin-based Lemmo Architecture and Design and fabricated by Harvest Lumber Co., these benches honor the neighborhood’s Hispanic roots, history, and culture. A total of 31 benches will be installed along the bridge, set to open in 2026.

We’re taking our first Maraca bench on a trip around the Trail for everyone to see! The “roadshow” bench is the prototype we built to confirm bench height, depth, back angle and supports. Through this process, we decided to reduce the width of the seat by 2-1/2 inches for the 14 benches to be placed on the bridge. The bench plaque will also be slightly smaller than shown at 3 x 10 inches.
From February through the Fall of 2025, catch a prototype of the Maraca bench at three spots on the Trail:

February – Rainey Street Trailhead
May – Auditorium Shores
August – Holly Shores

February
Rainey Street TrailHead
May

August

The “Maraca” benches will be made of reclaimed/salvaged hardwood from cypress trees, and they will feature light tones that are weatherproofed. Additionally, the benches will be accented with powder-coated steel in shades that honor the neighborhood’s Hispanic roots, history, and culture.
