🚨 : Does your family know where to meet if you’re separated in an emergency?

A. Yes! We have a designated meeting place.
B. We’ll figure it out when something happens.
C. I’m not sure.
We hope you answered A!

Take a few minutes today to pick a meeting spot. It can be a neighbor’s house, a school nearby, or the stop sign at the next intersection.

Heading to a Travis County park this holiday weekend? Know before you go!

Travis County is under a burn ban.
🚫 No wood fires, ground fires, or charcoal grills
✅ Propane is permitted only in above-ground, covered grills

Holiday weekends mean larger crowds, heavy traffic, and full parking lots. Lake park entrances may have longer wait times. Once a park reaches capacity, entry will be closed for the rest of the day, and re-entry will not be permitted.

📱 Check your park’s page for closure updates before you head out!

Know the rules. Be safe. Be smart. Enjoy the park!
