Public can see concepts for Arboretum San Antonio during second round of input sessions

SAN ANTONIO – San Antonio will soon see early design concepts for the city’s forthcoming 188-acre arboretum on the Southeast Side.

The team behind Arboretum San Antonio is hosting two community events to gauge public feedback on the park, which will be located on land near the former Republic Gold Course, not far from Brooks.

The input process is a step in the site’s master plan process, which began earlier this year. The group behind the site said the input process will wrap up in mid-2025. A date for opening is not yet known.

Bexar County commissioners allocated $7.3 million to fund the park last November, according to Arboretum San Antonio CEO Thomas Corser.

This bout of events is the second of three, according to Arboretum SA’s website. In late August, two input sessions were held at Mission Library.

The two back-to-back community events will be held on Tuesday, Oct. 22, at the Southside Lions Community Center.

The first session runs from 3:30 to 5 p.m., and the other from 5:30 to 7 p.m.
