We are heartbroken alongside our Pease Park community. 💚
Austin Youth Fitness has called Pease Park home for years. We have brought countless kids and families to this park and when Malin arrived in 2024 she instantly became part of AYF. Our kids loved finding her sitting peacefully tucked away in the trees along Shoal Creek Trail; she was the highlight of every visit.
She was more than just a sculpture. Built from recycled materials by world renowned Danish artist Thomas Dambo, with the assistance of over 150 Austin artisans, craftsman, and volunteers, she was a reminder to preserve Austin’s natural beauty, take care of nature and wildlife, and enjoy nature in community with others...
She was ours.
We stand with the Pease Park Conservancy and everyone who loved Malin.
