An annual report measuring people's access to parks shows that 52% of San Antonians live within 10 minutes' walk of a park.
Compared to other cities, San Antonio moved up to No. 59 this year, compared to last year’s rank of 60, and has steadily improved since 2018, when it was. San Antonio remains in the lower half of the top 100 U.S. cities for parks and in Texas trails Plano , Austin and Dallas .
Continuing improvements to access come in part from a partnership with local school districts, which open their recreational amenities to the public after school hours, said the department. Projects funded by the 2017-2022 city bond, the city’s general fund and grants added green space and amenities to the city’s park system.
