People of the Parks
Welcome to People of the Parks, the official podcast of Austin Parks Foundation! Join hosts Katie and Suzy as we explore the city’s nearly 400 parks, trails and green spaces, and talk about what goes into maintaining them. We’ll highlight some of Austin’s most iconic parks, and introduce you to some hidden gems. We’ll chat with the people who help shape our parks system, and those who love to use them. At APF, we believe that ALL people are parks people - and that includes you! Join us for a new episode each month and be sure to keep an eye out for surprise bonus episode drops. In the meantime, we’ll see you outside!

Episode 6: Hitting the Trails with @hikeaustin
Happy National Take a Hike Day from your friends at Austin Parks Foundation! We're celebrating today by assuming ownership of the ever-popular @hikeaustin Instagram account. In today's episode, we have an exclusive interview with Matthew Guthrie, the mind behind the account. We talk to him about how he started @hikeaustin, why he’s donating it to APF, and what his hopes are for the account. Once you listen, be sure to show us some love on the @hikeaustin IG account!
