All modifications will be woven into the woodland in such a manner that will protect the canopy and allow the park to retain its familiar storybook atmosphere. The renovations will provide badly needed recreational and gathering options for Austin's booming urban core and allow this beloved green space to live up to its true potential greatness. Pease Park has always been a place for everyone. These improvements won't change that; they'll simply enhance what's already there to sustain the park and create a welcoming space for all. 10 Requested Action Make a recommendation to the City Council for the negotiation and execution of a partnership agreement with Pease Park Conservancy for the operations, maintenance and programming for Kingsbury Commons within Pease District Park. 11
