SAN ANTONIO – A park in District 1 is getting a new basketball court and parking upgrades by the end of the year, according to the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR).

This construction is part of District 1’s 2022 to 2027 Bond Project for Dellview Park.
The TDLR filing said the basketball court is approximately 6,050 square feet. It will be a half-court, and the other improvements include ADA parking upgrades, trail lighting and more tree plantings.
The project is around $490,000, the TDLR filing said.
According to the Bond Project’s website, the original budget for this upgrade to Dellview Park was around $536,000.
There were also plans to include a shade structure at the pool, a splash pad, softball bleachers, an exercise station and other upgrades, a public input document said.
KSAT reached out to the San Antonio Public Works Department for comment.
Nick Oliver, the public relations and marketing manager for the department, said the other amenities not mentioned in the state filing were proposed as possible improvements for the public to consider during the project’s design phase.
The improvements can be added and considered for future projects as funding is identified, Oliver said.
“This is one of 82 park projects across the City as part of the 2022 Bond Program,” said Rodney Dzuik, capital programs manager for the City of San Antonio. “Together, they will bring $271 million in park improvements and new amenities to San Antonio residents. Dellview Park is a smaller park, but the amenities will make a big impact on those that visit the park.”
