San Antonio City Council and nonprofit Arboretum San Antonio met Wednesday to discuss a future arboretum planned for the Southeast Side.

Three design concepts for Arboretum San Antonio were shown to the public earlier this week, revealing more about the forthcoming park.

The team behind Arboretum San Antonio is hosting two community events to gauge public feedback on the park, which will be located on land near the former Republic Gold Course, not far from Brooks.

Organizers and planners of the forthcoming Arboretum San Antonio want to hear from the community at two input sessions next week.

An arboretum project that will connect people with nature and provide educational opportunities is moving forward.

The Bexar County Commissioner’s Court approved agreements to help establish San Antonio’s future 188-acre Arboretum, allocating $7.3 million in funding.

A closed golf course on the city’s Southeast Side could be converted to an arboretum and offer educational programming.
