Sycamore Circle is a group of people who believe in the power of Pease Park to:
Preserve Ecosytems
Cool neighborhoods
Manage rainwater naturally
Provide safe pathways for non-motorized mobility
Create greater contact between people and natural environments
Because of their deep-seated commitment to urban greenspace, particularly Pease Park, Sycamore Circle members make leadership-level investments in the mission of Pease Park Conservancy.
Our mission
Pease Park Conservancy celebrates the diverse ecology and history that make Austin’s first public park valuable and unique. The Conservancy works to restore, enhance and maintain this 84-acre public green space for the sustainable use and enjoyment of all.
Our Vision
Pease Park will be known as an accessible urban green space for all, where land stewardship, environmental innovation and inclusive programming embrace the community’s history and inspire its future.
Sycamore Circle members invest in Pease Park Conservancy’s mission for five years at the following levels:
Bronze: $5,000 per year ($25,000 pledged)
Silver: $10,000 per year ($50,000 pledged)
Gold: $20,000 per year ($100,000 pledged)
Platinum: $50,000 per year ($250,000 pledged)
They provide the Conservancy with larger-scale predictable revenues that allow the organization to plan future operations, maintenance, and capital improvement projects. Sycamore Circle members intend to create a longterm relationship with Pease Park Conservancy and the park itself.
