In 2022, the citizens of San Antonio, TX, passed a bond proposal in an effort to enhance several parks throughout the city.
With the passing of the proposal, WGI was selected to lead several of the park improvement projects, including San Antonio's Main Plaza, Pickwell Park, and Monterrey Park.
Additionally, WGI was tasked with leading the park improvement projects for District 5's Alderete Park, Escobar Park, Kennedy Park, and Tejeda Park, with construction budgets ranging from approximately $375,000 to $4,500,000.
WGI's team of Landscape Architecture experts in Austin, TX, have since served as the primary consultants for the District 5 Park improvement projects.
The team had their hands full working alongside city staff and sub-consultants to analyze the existing conditions of each park, proposing improvement opportunities, communicating with the public as well as project stakeholders, and providing permitted drawings, specifications, and construction administration services.

Tejeda Park: 541 Division Avenue, San Antonio, TX: The potential program includes shading for the existing basketball courts, a playground, as well as a splash pad.
