Program areas at Waterloo Greenway Conservancy
Waterloo Greenway Conservancy opened the revitalized Waterloo park to the community in 2021. The organization activates Waterloo park and moody amphitheater with a variety of arts and cultural experiences, including: permanent and temporary art exhibitions; live music concerts; dance and performance art; large-scale cultural festivals; and arts and cultural activities at weekly programs.
Waterloo Greenway Conservancy's park operations program maintains and operates Waterloo park in downtown austin. The park operations team maintains 1.5 miles of trails, 500 trees, 90,000+ plants, a beautiful tree deck, an open plaza, and a 5,000 person capacity outdoor amphitheater.
Once complete, Waterloo Greenway will be a 35 acre, 1.5-mile park system of connected green space that will be home to a wild array of natural and cultural destinations. A significant public-private partnership between the city of austin and Waterloo Greenway Conservancy, this park is being planned, designed, and built in a series of geographic milestones. Symphony square, Waterloo park, and moody amphitheater are now open. Construction of the confluence began in 2023.
Waterloo Greenway's non-arts programming includes partnership-based healthy living/fitness classes and a community engagement program. Fitness classes are offered at the park throughout the spring and summer. The community engagement program operates year-round to raise citywide awareness and ensure that residents in all 10 council districts have opportunities to engage with and benefit from the project.
