Community Engagement Opportunity
Creator of the Pease Park troll shares his vision for the project
Thursday, February 15, 2024 by Beth Bond
Thomas Dambo, the Danish artist whose medium is recycled materials, will introduce the Pease Park troll to the Austin community at an event at 3-5 p.m. March 15 at Kingsbury Commons at Pease Park, 1100 Kingsbury St. He’ll share the story of the massive troll, and Austinites are invited to celebrate the completion of the build with food and music. Parking is available at the parking lot at the Austin Recreation Center, 1301 Shoal Creek Blvd.; the small parking lot at the south end of Pease Park; or street parking on Parkway, north of 15th Street. Upon arrival at the park, follow the eastern trail north through Kingsbury Commons about a quarter mile. For answers to frequently asked questions about the troll, visit peasepark.org/news/trollfaq.
