We are thrilled to share some wonderful news with you all on behalf of Zilker 351.  Fleetwood Jacobs has joined Zilker 351 as the new Executive Director! Fleetwood is passionate about environmental stewardship and community engagement, and she has deep and impressive experience with the skills that Zilker 351 will need to move forward with our work to honor, preserve and enhance the natural, cultural, and recreational treasures of 351-acre Zilker Metropolitan Park for all.  Her deep roots in Austin and her leadership experience make her the perfect choice to guide Zilker 351 into this next exciting new chapter of growth and impact.

Zilker 351 has the mission to "honor, preserve and enhance the natural, cultural and recreational treasures of 351-acre Zilker Park."

A new community board has been created to help preserve and elevate Zilker Metropolitan Park in Austin.

Leaders from nonprofit groups attached to Zilker Park have formed a new nonprofit group intended to enhance and preserve the 351-acre metropolitan park that is expected to be transformed in the coming years.

The Zilker Area is one of Austin’s largest, most central treasures, and many people have been tasked with taking care of it. Those ranks now include a brand-new nonprofit called Zilker 351 (named for the number of acres in the park), announced on April 3 by a community board of directors.
