Full report (listed on article) can be found here.
Not sure that this is at all feasible for Zilker Park, but I'm typically all for natural areas. I think Zilker's use for the city makes this plan a bit of a pipe dream in its current state.

The presentation seems a little misleading, talking about "rewilding 75 of 350 acres". The issue is that a lot is already "wild" or close to it.
The actual usable area for events seems like it would be reduced to a small minority of the park.

page 10
and I'm not sure where 75 even comes from, page 33 says 80 acres.
Edit/Add: I will say the "Green Parking Woodland" seems potentially promising, for those areas that are mostly just parking already.
Though they only call for 3 acres of that, and it seems to be entirely missing from the map on page 33
