I had a great time working along with my friends to repair the trail at the park. It took a lot of effort but it felt good inside to see the finished product, knowing 30 people can make a difference when working as one.
We were able to improve Walnut Creek Metropolitan Park by raising the land where there was drop-offs, renovating trails, and upgrade the experience of bikers, runners, and dog-walkers who use the trails. Shoveling up gravel and dirt, carrying large buckets that contained 10-15 lbs. back and forth, and compacting everything to stay in one spot was hard work. However, it was worth it after hearing appreciation from the local people who were passing as we were working.
The event was a good experience. I was able to, with the teamwork of other classmates, partake in rebuilding a trail that was worn. Although it was tough labor, the end results were satisfying as we were able to positively ensure that the trial at Walnut Creek Metropolitan Park were safer to travel on.
Volunteering for this was so much fun! I got to work with amazing people and help create a better experience for bike riders and people in the park in general.
It was really good
Hard labour is very hard! But it was very rewarding to see how 40 people can do a large task in a couple of hours. Rebuilding that trail definitely took a team effort.
clean the park was a great experience. It made me feel good knowing there is such beautiful nature in Austin.
This was a wonderful opportunity to meet new people and help restore some of the bike trails at Walnut Park after all of the rainfall we have had. It was so nice to see all of the bikers and walkers on the trail; they were all really pleased with the restoration we were doing, which felt really good.
