Danish artist, Thomas Dambo, created Malin’s Fountain, a troll sculpture in Pease Park with the help of 150 Austin-based volunteers.

Malin is a female troll holding a bowl. She reminds us that we should share water and resources with the animals that live here with us. Hear from Thomas Dambo about our beloved Austin Troll…

Did You Know? More than 80% of Malin’s Fountain is made from recycled, repurposed, or found materials.

The best way to visit the troll is by taking public transportation, biking, or walking to Pease Park.

If you plan to drive to the park, please park in one of the following parking lots: 

Pease Park Kingsbury Commons Parking Lot

Austin Recreation Center

ACC Rio Grande Campus on Saturdays and Sundays between 9am-6pm

Malin’s Fountain by Thomas Dambo is about 1,200 feet or 350 meters up the Shoal Creek Trail from the Kingsbury Commons parking lot at 1100 Kingsbury Street. It is about 460 feet, or 140 meters, north of the Treehouse Observation Pod.

Please reach out to info@peasepark.org if you need assistance getting to Malin’s Fountain from the Pease Park parking lot or loading zone.
