Austin Parks Foundation has plans for this year’s In the Park series, which kicks off today with a storytime at Springwood Park. Next week, Movies in the Park returns on March 14 with Elemental at Circle C Ranch Metro Park. The programming, which runs through December, is free and open to all. APF has teamed up with Creative Action for Playdates in the Park, offering family-friendly arts and entertainment, and with Rocket Cinema for free, outdoor movies that feature vendors and BYO picnic vibes. The Playdates in the Park schedule can be found here. The Movies in the Park schedule and information can also be found online. “For over 31 years, APF has been connecting people and parks by improving Austin’s public parks, trails and green spaces through volunteerism, innovative programming, advocacy and financial support,” Colin Wallis, CEO of Austin Parks Foundation, said in a statement to the press. “An important piece of our programming is to get people out in their neighborhood parks having fun, whether that is through movie screenings, story times or dance parties.” The full schedule of this year’s events can be found at austinparks.org.
