Stretching along Shoal Creek, Pease Park is one of Austin’s oldest and most beloved green spaces, blending nature, art, and play in a lush, urban setting. Originally donated in 1875, the park has evolved into a 84-acre retreat, featuring shaded trails, open fields, and a thriving ecosystem of native trees and wildflowers.

Its crown jewel is Kingsbury Commons, a beautifully reimagined space with an elevated treehouse, interactive water features, and art installations that make the park feel like a storybook come to life. The Shoal Creek Trail winds through the park, offering scenic paths for hikers, runners, and cyclists, while the limestone bluffs and meandering creek create a peaceful escape from the city’s bustle.

Pease Park is also home to Eeyore’s Birthday Party, Austin’s quirkiest annual festival, celebrating community and creativity with costumes, drum circles, and plenty of local flair. Whether you’re climbing into the treetops, exploring art-filled groves, or simply enjoying a quiet moment by the water, Pease Park is where Austin’s wild spirit thrives.
