Austin Parks and Recreation (APR) has announced that the western section of the Great Lawn at Zilker Park, which closed for the Austin City Limits Music Festival (ACL Fest), will reopen to the public on Saturday, October 31.

A City of Austin newletter lays out the changes to expect through the end of 2026. The western great lawn, which is vertically divided from the eastern side at the "island" of boulders in the center, will remain open throughout the holiday season. The volleyball courts, located in the western portion, will only be open from October 31 to November 16.

Stratford Drive, the road that divides the lawn from Zilker Botanical Garden, will remain open, as will the Stratford parking lot. Lou Neff Road, which loops around the majority of the lawn, will be closed through the holiday season to accommodate the annual Trail of Lights display.
