Mission Statement

The vision for the redevelopment of Hemisfair is to create a series of beloved urban parks embraced by a vibrant and walkable neighborhood. Hemisfair will be a functional urban destination that improves the quality of life for San Antonians, and is celebrated by the community and visitors alike.

Description

The Hemisfair Park Area Redevelopment Corporation (HPARC) was created by City Council in 2009 to redevelop the former site of the 1968 World's Fair in San Antonio, Texas.

HPARC is dedicated to the transformation of Hemisfair into a sustainable, self-funded urban district with residences, local businesses, unique programming and three parks-Yanaguana Garden, Civic Park (Phase Il) and Tower Park (Phase III). Hemisfair is where San Antonio meets: it is a vibrant gathering place for a day with friends and the city's biggest celebrations.


HPARC is a 501(c) 3 local government corporation, supported in part by the Hemisfair Conservancy, an independent 501(c) 3.

Hemisfair puts on fun , family friendly events which are fun for volunteers too! I had a blast helping out and their staff are welcoming, easy to get along with and communicated swiftly with me through email and text. Which I appreciate as a volunteer. It's a great way to get involved in the San Antonio downtown community while also giving back.
