Dear Mayor Watson and Austin City Council Members,
I am writing regarding the proposed amendments to the Brackenridge Development Agreement and the future of Lions Municipal Golf Course (Muny), scheduled for consideration on November 19.
Muny has been an important part of Austin's history and community for more than a century. Its role as an accessible public golf course, its civil rights legacy, and its significance as a public green space make its future especially important to residents.
I’d like to voice my support for this plan and ask that the council carefully evaluate its long-term implications for the preservation of the historic 18-hole course, continued public access, and the surrounding community.
[Optional: Add a personal connection to Muny, your perspective on the proposed agreement, or questions you would like Council to address.]
Thank you for your time, consideration, and service to the Austin community.
Sincerely,
[Your Name]
[Your Austin Neighborhood, Council District, or Residential Address]
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT!

Saving Muny for good is going to take more than your average grassroots fundraiser. Once we own the historic course, we can preserve it for another 100 years; this time as a self-sustaining endeavor open to the public, and affordable for all.
Now’s the time to add your name to the list of Austinites who stepped up to protect the deep roots Lions Municipal Golf Course has in our city.
Take Action
Encourage the University of Texas Board of Regents and Austin City Council to support preservation of all 141.35 acres of Lions Municipal Golf Course, as a historic 18-hole public golf course and open green space.
