	The Austin Chronicle: News: Zilker Park: A Neglected Crown Jewel
		Not that APF executive director Tim Fulton wants to replace the "crown jewel" of Austin's celebrated park system, but he does say that problems with Zilker could be remedied with a master planning effort like the one being used to shape the project in Southeast Austin.
		At Zilker Park, Macias points to a host of ongoing improvement projects aimed to improve visitor experiences, but she also says that a master plan could offset the current piecemeal approach to fixing the park's problems.
		And she adds that it remains to be seen at this early date whether Zilker would come under the auspices of the conservancy or be run as some other type of public-private partnership.

		The north side of Zilker Park makes a great starting point for a walk on the Town Lake Hike and Bike Trail.
		The only problem I have with Zilker is that the playground is extremely small for such a large park not to mention the abundance of traffic.The park doesn't have a seesaws, not enough swings, merry go round etc...
		While I've noticed that most parks have done away with the things mentioned above it seems that there would be other things in place of them.
