Espada Park

Espada Park

The River Authority, in partnership with Texas A&M San Antonio and TJ Maxx, is planning to connect the lower end of the Mission Reach to the City of San Antonio Parks System. The future Espada Park will offer opportunities for park visitors to recreate and increase their awareness and knowledge of the San Antonio River. The location and resources of the Espada Park property offer exciting opportunities to extend recreational and environmental experiences along a historic segment of the San Antonio River. The River Authority envisions an integrated plan with Texas A&M San Antonio to create a destination for learning, experiencing, engaging, enjoying and appreciating the site through a phased development approach.
