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.
With love from Austin’s first, oldest, and finest Park,

In Case You Missed It
News and spotlights from the 84 acres
The Shoal Creek Trail through Pease park has been blocked by debris from two major landslides that occurred in 2018 and 2019. After years of advocacy with the City of Austin from Shoal Creek Conservancy (SCC) and Pease Park Conservancy (PPC), the debris and trail closure remain.
Though this is a complex issue, PPC, SCC, and Pemberton Heights Neighborhood Association (PHNA) agree that it remains an important priority to work with the City to provide a safe, accessible restoration of this area of the park and the trail that serves it.
This month we invite you to celebrate Latino Conservation Week and Hispanic Heritage Month at Pease Park - Austin’s first and oldest greenspace! Spending time outdoors is linked to improved mental, physical, and cognitive wellness.
Pease Park Conservancy works to make Pease Park an equitable and sustainable greenspace for all of Austin to enjoy.
Read on for upcoming opportunities and ways to build community.
