Grande Salutes the North University Neighborhood Association

On Saturday, March 28, the neighborhood volunteers from the North University neighborhood celebrated the grand opening of Sparky Packet Park and a well deserved celebration it was.  The reclamation of this park from what was once an electrical sub-station required the cooperative efforts of many stakeholders including Austin Energy, the City of Austin PARD, Austin Parks Foundation and Art in Public Places. But the driving force for this delightful transformation was the North University Neighborhood Association. Grande salutes the neighborhood volunteers whose determination, commitment and love for their community has resulted in a pocket park that will be treasured for generations to come.

In keeping with the spirit of cooperation that was the hallmark of this effort, Grande Communications was pleased to provide a grant for landscaping and other esthetic need at Sparky Park.
