BACKGROUND
The City of Schertz worked with the Great Springs Project to acquire a 10.5-acre property located generally at FM 482 and Bunker Street for the new Dry Comal Creek Nature Park. The park will be a trailhead for the future Dry Comal Creek Trail that connects to the City of New Braunfels' Dry Comal Creek Trail and correlates with the Great Springs Project's trail network from the Alamo to the Capitol. The site is also along the El Camino Real de los Tejas National Historic Trail and is adjacent to the historic Comal Town area. The city was awarded a $300,000 Trails Grant from the Texas Parks & Wildlife Department to fund the development of the park. The Great Springs Project CEO, Garry Merritt, will present the City of Schertz with a commemorative map of the park.
