The Pflugerville Parks Foundation is dedicated to actively advancing our mission to promote, protect, and enhance the parks system of the City of Pflugerville through strategic initiatives in education, resource development, and community partnerships. Established in 2023 by concerned citizens committed to expanding green spaces and preserving natural areas throughout Pflugerville, our foundation is driven by a vision of creating a more sustainable and vibrant community for all.
Key Initiatives
- Green Spaces Advocacy: We advocate for the development and expansion of green spaces within Pflugerville, ensuring that residents have access to recreational areas and natural environments that enhance their quality of life. We are also committed to ensuring that these green spaces are equitably accessible to everyone, making them welcoming and inclusive for all community members.
- Accessible Parks Enhancement: We strive to make local parks accessible to all members of the community, with a particular focus on those with disabilities and non-English speakers. By working to remove physical and language barriers, we aim to create spaces where everyone can enjoy the benefits of nature and recreation.
- Tree Planting Initiatives: Recognizing the environmental and aesthetic benefits of trees, we spearhead tree planting projects across Pflugerville. By strategically planting trees, we aim to improve air quality, provide shade, and create habitats for local wildlife.
- Natural Areas Preservation: We work to preserve and protect natural areas within Pflugerville, safeguarding biodiversity and ecological balance for future generations to enjoy. Through collaborative efforts with local conservation groups and government entities, we advocate for policies that prioritize the conservation of natural habitats.
- Education and Awareness: We educate the community about the importance of parks and green spaces through outreach programs, workshops, and informational campaigns. By fostering awareness, we encourage residents to actively participate in the stewardship of their local parks and natural areas.
- Community Partnerships: We cultivate partnerships with businesses, organizations, and community members who share our commitment to enhancing Pflugerville’s parks system. Through these collaborations, we leverage resources and expertise to maximize our impact and achieve shared conservation goals.

Past Projects
2024 Deutschen Pfest
The Pflugerville Parks Foundation kicked off its mission to support and enhance local parks with a successful debut event in partnership with Prost Brewhouse at Deutschen Pfest. This special collaboration marked our introduction to the Pflugerville community and served as our first fundraiser. It was a wonderful opportunity to meet so many passionate residents, share our vision, and raise funds to support the preservation and improvement of our beautiful parks. We’re excited to continue working together with the community to create spaces that everyone can enjoy for years to come!
2024 Arbor Day
The Pflugerville Parks Foundation was proud to partner with the City of Pflugerville for Arbor Day to help support and enhance our local green spaces. Together, we spread seeds in unmowed parkland to encourage the growth of native plants, fostering a healthier, more sustainable environment. We also joined forces with the Pflugerville Citizen Pforesters to plant trees, contributing to the long-term vitality of our community’s parks. It was a rewarding day of hands-on conservation, and we look forward to continuing our efforts to improve Pflugerville’s natural beauty!
