“Woodlawn Lake Park has long served as a vital gathering place for our community, but it has faced numerous challenges due to insufficient funding. This award is not just about dollars. It represents our commitment to preserving our natural heritage and providing safe, engaging spaces for all residents to enjoy,” said Gavito.
The city’s application was among 54 grants awarded nationwide and is the largest grant to a single park in city history. This funding will enhance existing resources allocated through the city’s fiscal year 2022 bond. The total new investment in Woodlawn Lake Park is now $6.5 million. Gavito partnered with the City of San Antonio Parks and Recreation Department, the San Antonio River Authority, the National Park Service, the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, and local and federal leaders to apply for the grant.
