If you haven’t had a chance to weigh in yet, Austin Parks Foundation and Tur Partners are teaming up to host their last “public visioning session” for Auditorium Shores and Butler Park at 5 p.m. Oct.  1. Those who attend will be asked to weigh in on preliminary concepts and ideas around long-term infrastructure and design improvements to the park. Changes to the park — in particular the off-leash dog park — made for some long nights at City Council last year. Because Auditorium Shores is currently in the midst of being improved, the meeting will take place at the also-recently-controversial Fiesta Gardens Building and Patio at Edward Rendon Sr. Park at Festival Beach, 2101 Jesse E. Segovia Street.
