Parking Information & Meeting Location 🚘
We highly encourage alternative modes of transportation such as walking, biking, public transportation, carpooling, or rideshare when visiting Pease Park.
If you drive there is a small parking lot in Kingsbury Commons (1100 Kingsbury Street) and available street parking along parkway. Additional FREE parking can be found at the Austin Recreation Center parking lot (1301 Shoal Creek Blvd), which connects to Pease Park via a short walk along the Shoal Creek Trail. Once you arrive please meet a PPC staff member at the volunteer hub. This is the large metal building just next to the restrooms and amphitheater.
A note about Pease Park Conservancy's events:
If you sign up, please make every effort to show up. Our events are free so all of our community members can attend. But we plan our events to be meaningful for the number of people who register to be there, so please make every effort to attend if you have registered. We understand things come up from time to time, but If you have registered we look forward to having you there! Thank you!
