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. \n \nWe’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. \nFrom February through the Fall of 2025\, catch a prototype of the Maraca bench at three spots on the Trail: \n\nFebruary – Rainey Street Trailhead\nMay – Auditorium Shores\nAugust – Holly Shores\n\nFebruary\nRainey Street TrailHead \nMay\nAuditorium Shores \nAugust\nHolly Shores \nThe “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. \n  \nInspiration & Design\nLearn more about the unique bench designs and the local inspiration behind them from Lemmo Architecture and Design’s design booklet.\nSee Now \nBench Adoption\nAdopting a bench is a wonderful way to honor a loved one or give a meaningful gift.\nAdoption Details \nInspiration & Design\nLearn more about the unique bench designs and the local inspiration behind them from Lemmo Architecture and Design’s design booklet.\nSee Now \nBench Adoption\nAdopting a bench is a wonderful way to honor a loved one or give a meaningful gift.\nAdoption Details URL:https://thetrailconservancy.org/event/maraca-bench-tour/ LOCATION:Ann and Roy Butler Hike-and-Bike Trail\, Austin\, TX\, 78704\, United States ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://thetrailconservancy.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/Event-Featured-Images-3.jpg GEO:30.2589065;-97.743633 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20250301T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20250301T130000 DTSTAMP:20260423T051453 CREATED:20250110T212107Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250110T212107Z UID:10000377-1740823200-1740834000@thetrailconservancy.org SUMMARY:Rain Garden Planting | Congress Rain Garden DESCRIPTION:GSI Planting \nThe Trail Conservancy continues to improve floodplain health by installing and maintaining green stormwater infrastructure (rain gardens) along the Trail.

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. \nThis 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. \nRegistration is required and is limited to 10 participants. A reminder email with pertinent details will be sent before the field trip. Register HERE!
