SAN ANTONIO – This Easter Sunday will be unlike any other in San Antonio.

Social gatherings in groups larger than 10 people should be avoided, Mayor Ron Nirenberg stated in his emergency order declaration. And parks will be closed with the exception of walking, running and biking trails, meaning traditional Brackenridge Park camping will skip 2020.
