For many of us, May is one of the most hectic months of the year. It brings finals, deadlines, gatherings, and transitions. Taking care of your mental health can fall by the wayside when you have a lot going on; but without some intentional self-care, our health, relationships, and productivity can suffer.

So, we are coming at you with a friendly reminder (or nag) to step outdoors, soak in some sunlight, move your body, and connect with one another. We know there are a lot of places to do these things in this special city, but we hope Pease is always on your list. And, we have put together a calendar of events in the coming weeks curated to soothe the stress from your minds and bodies. Check out some of these upcoming events.

Group Events Not For You?

No problem. Passively enjoying nature has many restorative health benefits. We invite you to Pease to work outside, take a stroll on the Shoal Creek Trail, throw a ball for your dog at Gaston Green, or take a nap on a blanket in Live Oak Meadow or on the Great Lawn in Kingsbury Commons.

Things to Note:

1. Areas of the Great Lawn will undergo rest through May 18th. We will have stakes and marking tape around these areas. Please help us revitalize the lawn by avoiding walking on the grass in these areas.

2. We love our neighbors! Please be respectful of the neighbors in the residences close to the park. Avoid walking on their lawns, using their driveways to turn around or unload, or blocking the entrances to their mailboxes and homes.

3. Friday, May 10th is the targeted Splash Pad start date.
