Overview
Pease Park is a historic linear park that follows Shoal Creek through central Austin, from West 15th Street to 31st Street. As Austin's first public park, it features shaded walking and biking trails, open lawns, a splash pad, a playground, and the iconic Treehouse at Pease. The park connects to the Shoal Creek Trail and provides easy access to the Hancock Recreation Center and the University of Texas.
Why Visit
Pease Park offers a unique combination of nature and city. Walk or jog the shaded trail along the creek, let kids play at the splash pad, or simply enjoy the mature trees and open lawns.
