We discussed early concept designs for the play area\, trailhead\, and trail enhancements originally identified in the Holly Shores/Edward Rendon Sr. Park at Festival Beach. Our team heard from 267 people in person and 356 through an online survey\, with 30% of respondents from the 78702 zip code. \nHelp Us Design! | Open House \nWe are in our final phase of community engagement! We need your input to finalize and refine our concept designs for the future play area\, trail enhancements\, and new trailhead at Holly Shores. \nJoin TTC on April 12 from 9-11 AM at the Camacho Activity Center to share your thoughts and enjoy free breakfast tacos.  \nCan’t make it? Join us April 22 from 5:30-7:30 PM!

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!

Matt and Alyssa’s voices\, like instruments\, interchange\, blend\, rise and fall in ways that few duos can achieve. If listeners are lucky enough to catch a live show\, they’d be forgiven for mistaking the pair for a full band upon first note. Matt’s guitar looping techniques\, skillful chord progressions\, and percussive elements\, along with Alyssa’s synth backgrounds and bell-clear violin\, produce a fulsome sound that is far from the typical duo most listeners have come to expect.” – EASTside Magazine The two’s intricate vocal harmonies and unique guitar-violin blends have earned them Official SXSW status\, a Sonic Guild grant\, and features in Earmilk\, Austin-American Statesman\, and KUTX.\n \n \n Link\n \n \n Instagram\n \n \n Globe\n \n \n Youtube URL:https://thetrailconservancy.org/event/music-on-the-trail-deer-fellow/ LOCATION:Rainey Street Trailhead\, 36 East Ave\, Austin\, TX 78701 CATEGORIES:Kids + Family,Music On The Trail Series ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://thetrailconservancy.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/MOTT-5.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20250407T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20250407T193000 DTSTAMP:20260414T195307 CREATED:20250128T202912Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250224T204907Z UID:10000382-1744048800-1744054200@thetrailconservancy.org SUMMARY:Soul Flow Yoga Class | TrailFit: TruFusion Spring Fitness Series DESCRIPTION:TrailFit Spring Fitness Series\nOn the first Monday of March\, April\, and May enjoy a FREE workout at Auditorium Shores with TruFusion Austin.

She is most well known for her standout performances on Season 15 of NBC’s The Voice\, beginning with her haunting arrangement of Fleetwood Mac’s “Rhiannon”. Her audition prompted Adam Levine to declare that she “should have been a four-chair turn” had half the teams not already filled. \nKatrina’s music brings the listener on a journey that breaks the barriers of genre: sweet\, soulful vocals and luscious dreamscapes\, swinging between soul breaking singer-songwriter ballads\, and pop country anthems. In her quietest moments\, Katrina’s pop sensibilities make room for her authentic tales of Americana. Never one to skimp on lyric\, Katrina’s artful storytelling bears more of the human experience than just a heartbreak like the one before. \n\n\nGlobe\n\n\nInstagram\n\n\nYoutube\n\n\nFacebook URL:https://thetrailconservancy.org/event/music-on-the-trail-katrina-caine/ LOCATION:Rainey Street Trailhead\, 36 East Ave\, Austin\, TX 78701 CATEGORIES:Kids + Family,Music On The Trail Series ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://thetrailconservancy.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/MOTT-1.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20250402T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20250402T110000 DTSTAMP:20260414T195307 CREATED:20250219T215805Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250219T215805Z UID:10000390-1743584400-1743591600@thetrailconservancy.org SUMMARY:Plant Work Day | April 2 DESCRIPTION:Weekly Plant Workdays \nJoin us on every other Wednesday to repot\, water\, maintain\, and care of native plants.

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.

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!

Recently planted native trees\, shrubs\, wildflowers\, and natural spring water dominate the landscape and provide excellent habitats for many different species of birds.
