Description
Through a partnership between the Austin Parks and Recreation Department and The University of Texas at Austin, Austin residents in all 10 City Council districts have the chance to experience up-close solar viewings during the Great North American Eclipse on Monday, April 8.
The University is providing eclipse glasses and telescopes with solar filters for independent and guided viewing in select parks between noon – 3 p.m. City officials are encouraging residents to minimize travel and view the eclipse close to their home or workplace due to the expected influx of visitors and the eclipse’s potential impact on traffic April 8.
