As a city that values sustainability and inclusivity, Austin’s parks are a testament to its commitment to a healthier, happier community and respect for protecting and fostering the natural and native environment.

Hosting Greater & Greener 2026 provides an opportunity for Austin to showcase its city-within-a-park approach and highlight the importance of parks, trails, and green spaces within walking distance for all residents.

With strong public-private partnerships and a diverse community, Austin will provide a dynamic learning lab for the more than 1,000 Greater & Greener attendees, including urban park leaders, city planners, design professionals, and advocates from around the world.
