Kingsbury Commons Closing for Construction Feb 19th

Please be aware that Kingsbury Commons, the lower 7 acres of Pease Park, will be closed to the public as we undertake the construction of this major capital improvement project. The trail along the eastern side of Kingsbury Commons along Shoal Creek will remain open throughout the duration of the construction, as will the remaining 70+ acres of Pease Park. Trail users will still be able to access the trail from the 15th Street and Lamar entrance south of Kingsbury Commons, as well as the Custer’s Meadow entrance at Parkway to the North of Kingsbury Commons.

Bringing You Bees and Butterflies This Spring!

Bringing You Bees and Butterflies This Spring!

Springtime in Texas is synonymous with vibrant displays of wildflowers, and Pease Park is no exception. This past “It’s My Park Day,” Pease Park Conservancy helped prepare the park for a spectacular floral bloom come this Spring. With the help of 100 volunteers and the assistance of the Austin Watershed Protection Department, a total of 36,000 square feet of the park over six different locations, were prepped and seeded with a carefully selected mix of wildflower seeds, perfect for Central Texas and its wildlife.

Lyova - the "Sweetest New Yorker in Texas"

Lyova - the "Sweetest New Yorker in Texas"

Lyova Rosanoff walks her dog in Pease Park. The walk has been an almost daily routine for more than 20 years – a chance to get away from the urban setting and back to nature. Lyova’s legacy to Austin trails her tall, lean stature and gracious smile as you pass her in Pease Park. Her musical talent, wit (tinged with political power brokers and events), and a love for Austin (especially Austin in the “hippy 70’s and 80’s”) all contributed to a larger Austin legacy, Esther’s Follies.
