SCHOOL PARKS

More neighborhoods in San Antonio now have a park nearby through the San Antonio Sports School Parks program. They are enhanced by beautiful gateways or signs inviting the community to enjoy their amenities. Anyone who wants to spend time outdoors, close to home and in a safe and engaging area, is welcome.

Since 2012, San Antonio Sports has led the effort to increase accessibility to green space in neighborhoods across the community by turning elementary and middle school property into facilities to be enjoyed by SUPPORTED BY THE JOHN L. SANTIKOS CHARITABLE FOUNDATION students during the school day and open to residents for exercise and A FUND OF THE SAN ANTONIO AREA FOUNDATION recreation after school hours. In conjunction with the Trust for Public Land’s 10-Minute Walk campaign, San Antonio Sports, the City of San Antonio, City Council members and San Antonio Parks & Recreation will work together to build future parks in high need areas, providing communities who currently don’t have a park within a ten-minute walk facilities that can be accessed after school hours and on weekends. 37 Completed school parks Thanks to support from the John L. Santikos Charitable Foundation, a fund of the San Antonio Area Foundation, artistic gateways and signs are since 2012 installed at each school park welcoming citizens into the space. These funds also allow San Antonio Sports to provide park enhancements for students and the neighborhood. 6 SCHOOL PARK DIRECTORY In progress 1. Adams Elem. (Harlandale ISD) 14. Hidden Forest Elem.

She’s also a basketball fan so it’s no surprise that her favorite events “are the Final Fours, by far! I am a lifelong college basketball fan. I grew up in ACC Country - Go Blue Devils!”

She sums up why she continues to help our nonprofit. “I really appreciate the friendliness of all the staff at all levels. There are very few organizations out there where staff, even the CEO, takes the time to chat with the volunteers and that is super appreciated!” As a key volunteer, we know we can count on Deirdre’s help and call upon her whenever 2020 Volunteer of the Year she’s needed.
