Improve Access to Parks and Green Spaces

More of the Story

Between 2010 and 2020, there was an 11-percentage point increase in San Antonians who have measurable access (within a 10-minute walk) to parks.

The City of San Antonio's Parks System Plan was adopted in 2019 and will guide future planning decisions about expansion, capital improvements and programming of the more than 250 City-owned parks and recreational facilities, 16,000 plus acres of green space, and over 200 miles of trails through 2029.

In the May 7 bond election, San Antonians approved 6 propositions: streets, parks, drainage, affordable housing, public safety facilities, and library and cultural facilities. With the approval of the 2022-2027 bond package, 183 projects located across the city will be funded.
