Pease Park Flood Cleanup

Memorial Day brought historic floods to Austin. All of the creeks breached their banks, roads were closed, and many homes and businesses were devastated by the floodwater. Unwanted debris was left scattered around the entire park. The playgrounds, flowerbeds, and trails all fell victim to the rising waters of Shoal Creek. It's going to take a lot of time and effort to get Austin back in order, but we're ready to get started at Pease!

Join us on Saturday, May 30th from 9:00 to Noon at Pease Park (1100 Kingsbury Street) to help clean up the park. We'll meet by the picnic tables at the south end of the park and deploy volunteers to haul away debris, rake the trails back into place, and remove all of the trash that got caught in the trees and shrubs. We will supply all the tools and trash bags. All we ask is that volunteers wear close-toed shoes and clothes that can get a little dirty.
