I think it's a forgone conclusion that Lake|Flato is going to win, though. The city council loves them, for some reason. But their creation of a water park-looking place shows that they really don't know Austin at all. A water park? What's next? A Farris Wheel? So hokey and mundane. No thanks.
I've resigned myself to the fact that I'm going to be disappointed. I guess I would lean toward the CMG one. Their vision for Palm Park is kinda nice.

I totes agree. I do not understand why city council loves Lake|Flato sooo much. Yes, they've done some nice things, but they're KINDA DULL. CMG is my official favorite. I just wish they could add the bridge going across town lake to the CMG proposal.
On the parks subject: Compared to many other cities, Austin does not have a lot of parks.. We need more.
