San Marcos Eastside Park Acquisition
Completed
Precinct:
1
Location:
San Marcos
The 170-acre property, purchased in October 2022, was acquired for the future development of the Eastside Regional Park.
The Hays County Commissioners awarded $600K of Parks Bond Funds to the City of San Marcos for the purchase of approximately 170 acres for the development of a new park in San Marcos. Additionally, the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) contributed $6M in funds for this project.
The purchase of this property, located off HW 21, would allow for the potential relocation of pickleball courts and a swimming pool, while also providing open space for flood mitigation, conservation efforts, and passive recreation. The project goals are to provide ample open space in the park, offering a range of recreational experiences that service all community members, and provide connectivity to other parks and open spaces in the area.
