Pease Park Conservancy is happy to partner with Toni Bravo of Diverse Spaces Youth Dance Theater for family movement and dance workshops outdoors.
Dance is a joyous activity that connects us to rhythm and the space that surrounds us. And it gives us a sense of presence and confidence that can have a positive impact in our relationship with others. Come and share this experience with your child. It is a bond like no other!
Come stretch, breathe, move, dance, relax, create, and have FUN! These classes will include age-appropriate yoga and movement- including breathing, poses, stories, music, relaxation, meditation, and more.

Impact. Many of us want to have a positive impact on the world, on other people, on the environment, and on future generations. At times we feel powerless, discouraged, or that our ability to control the way things are moving is limited. So, it helps to stop and take stock of how you have and how you will impact the world around you, in ways that are unique to you, with your specific set of talents, passions, and influence. As Sharon McMahon (aka America’s Government Teacher) points out in her book, The Small and Mighty, everyday people who are not in the history books have helped shape the course of history and they can serve as inspiration to us all.
At Pease Park Conservancy, our sphere of influence as a team is on a beautiful 84-acre urban green space. It’s easy to imagine the amount of development that would be in Pease Park’s place if it weren’t protected and cared for. We want to share the recent impacts that our team of 12 has had on this park and the community around it, by using our unique talents, knowledge, and drive.
The cycle of life is now evident in Pease Park, as we have recently learned that five Cedar Elms in Kingsbury Commons have reached a point where they need to come down. Each of these trees has experienced loss of major limbs and canopy repair, and while some parts of the trees are still alive, they pose a danger to park visitors and must be removed. They have provided parkgoers with shade and beauty, and birds, squirrels, and bugs with shelter and nourishment. We are sad to see them go.
Fall is officially here and Halloween is just around the corner!
We know all too well how difficult it can be to find a costume that expresses your wit, interests, and unique individuality. As a cherished Pease Park Conservancy volunteer we want to ease your worries and give you some park-inspired Halloween costume ideas!
The catch? Well we would love to see you at the park volunteering in your park-personified costumes - just make sure you can still move around and volunteer in your look!
Read on for upcoming volunteer events, news and blogposts from the 84 acres, and featured programming events.
