    OUR VISION

    • Leveraged more than $14M to enhance this public green space
    • Overseen volunteers in more than 19,800+ hours of work to restore the park’s ecological well-being
    • Completed the award-winning, unanimously-approved Pease Park Master Plan in 2014
    • Brought internationally-acclaimed artist Patrick Dougherty’s Stickwork to Pease
    • Added 3 miles of mulch trails that wind through the forested hillside
    • Restored and preserved the historic New Deal-era picnic tables and Janet Fish wall
