Webster defines a "Pleasance" as "a pleasure ground or
garden, usually part of an estate" and "a pleasant rest
or recreation place . . . ." It was a dream of V. H.
"Buddy" Kays to provide a "Pleasance" somewhere on
Foundation property. Consequently, just such a place has
been created on the grounds of the Kays Foundation
office building at East University Loop and A Street.
You'll find the Pleasance tucked between the
Kays Foundation office and the Cooper Alumni Center, and it
can be accessed from either area, though the official
entrance is just east of the Foundation office.
The Pleasance
provides the visitor with an opportunity to stroll through a
quiet, wooded area near the heart of the ASU campus, rest
for a while or view the various markers which recall the
men, women, and events that are so much a part of the
history of Arkansas State University.
 The
Pleasance is available to the University community and
campus visitors each day of the year.
