The Toney Burger Athletic Center is one of AISD’s largest land assets. Located in Sunset Valley, the 57-acre site has served generations of Austin families. Now, through a partnership with Rally Austin, AISD is launching a needs assessment to explore how this land can potentially serve both educational and community goals for decades to come.
