A San Antonio park on the Westside will be mostly closed until early next year for trail and other park upgrades. 

Guido Construction, the contractor for the Zarzamora Creek Greenway Trail Project, will reconstruct the loop trail and lighting at Garza Park. 

The closure –– which started on Tuesday, September 8 –– includes Garza Park Loop Trail, Softball Field #2, and the Multi-Purpose Field, according to the City of San Antonio’s website. The move is for public safety because the contractor will be moving large equipment and materials into the park. 

The park neighborhood association encouraged Esparza Elementary and Ross Middle School to find safe alternatives while Garza Park remains mostly closed. 

Most of the park will be closed until January 2027 to allow for the construction.
