New book celebrates Hardberger Park in San Antonio with photos, essays
Hardberger’s voice appropriately takes a lead role in telling that story through an eloquent essay in which he articulates his desire for a different kind of urban park.
To that end, Hardberger said, after the city bought the land from the Voelker Trust — named for the family that worked the land as a dairy farm for decades— “we set aside forty acres to create a savannah to reflect the trees and grass that settlers found here when they arrived.” Hardberger clearly has a love for all the park's flora and fauna. At the 2006 press conference announcing the purchase of the parkland, he made headlines by hugging a giant, 400-year-old live oak tree, which now is known as “Phil’s Tree.”
