Pique-Nique En Blanc 2024: Meet me at "Kingsbury Commons" in Pease Park

First of all, it never rains on the Pique-Nique En Blanc......

Except for that one time......

But the skies have lightened, the birds are singing, and the players have returned to the pickleball courts, so we are going forward with our original plan!  And the literal silver lining is that it won't be HOT or too BRIGHT!

Kingsbury Commons? What?  What's that???

It's here:

And it's beautiful.   We are shifting our original location within the park a little bit to avoid the low spots, but we feel certain that we won't be muddy on the lawn near the Kingsbury Commons entrance to the Park.  That said - it's definitely not the year for white satin pumps......

Eyesore's birthday was here yesterday, and they did see a lot of rain this am, but we have inspected the grounds and feel like we will we be ok.  In fact, we hope that there will be fewer park visitors this evening due to the weather and it won't be quite as crowded as usual.  But it will of course be HUMID and there will be mosquitos I am sure so bring bug spray!

Even so, parking is SCARCE.  But the folks at the Pease Park Conservancy recommend the following for getting to the park.

If you do drive, carpooling is a MUST.  It's probably a good idea to drop off your things at the park entrance and then have one person park your car in the lot at Austin Recreation Center (by House Park) and walk back.  

A Rideshare from another central location is also a great idea.  Use this address.  1100 Kingsbury Road.  

You may even spot a TROLL in the park!

See you at 6 - but not a moment before!
