Austin Parks
 The parks of Austin have grown tremendously since the 1960s with acreage more than doubling to 7,000 acres. New recreational opportunities hit the scene such as the Nature Center's debut in 1962. In 1964, the City's Recreation Division became the Austin Parks and Recreation Department. Before the close of the decade, the Parks and Recreation Department became a National Gold Medal Award finalist in 1967.
Today, the Parks and Recreation Department oversees more than 16,682 acres of land containing 206 parks and 12 preserves.
