9th Street BMX: It's MY Park Day IMPD 3-3-2018 review

We had a great turn out, diverse crew. We mulched trees, planted native plants from our Austin Parks Foundation mini grant of $250. We picked up litter, removed soil stacked on trees, and cleaned up our old cactus bed. Thanks to APF and everyone who helped. Much love for Turner Collie at www.violetcrownlandscapes.com for the landscaping logistics. www.9thstreetbmx.org

9th Street BMX: Halloween Jam 2018

Image
Good turn out for the 18th Annual 9th Street BMX Halloween Jam. The trails were soft and slow due to all the recent rain. People pulled together as always to get the jumps running and have a fun day. We had over 100 hot dogs and TRAIL RELISH! We raised over $500 which directly go the trails for tools, community outreach, etc.

Karu has improved so much in 1 year. He is fast and focused. Great guy, we need more locals like him and his family.

9th Street BMX: Mulch Day 8/28/2018

Image
We had a very successful volunteer day mulching trees at Duncan Park / 9th Street BMX thanks to the Austin Parks Foundation (APF). We moved 36 cubic yards of double grind Texas mulch to the benefit of several Live Oaks and Pecan trees.

Barry Rivera, with APF, coordinated with the UT School of Engineering to register 30 student volunteers to help. Thanks to the APF, Barry and all the UT students who helped us out.

After focusing on the trees, we mulched the area inside the Pump Track (kids area).
This area will be our designated landscaping area in our proposed APF park improvement grant.
The trails/park looks great!
Thanks again for everyone's help.
We look forward to It's My Park Day (IMPD) Fall 2018.


We had 2 trucks loads delivered, thanks Whittlesly Landscape Supply.

Thanks UT engineering students!
