The Trailist: After lawyer Gilbert Denman Jr.'s death, the City of San Antonio purchased land from his estate near the Medical Center.
Approximately 0.5 miles of gravel and paved footpathsThe University of the Incarnate Word had originally bought an adjacent 7.7 acres from Denman in 2007. It now belongs to Family Educators Alliance of South Texas, or FEAST, a Christian-influenced homeschool resource center. The organization offers curriculums and other resources including, for many years, a homeschool sports league.
The Rosemont, a 1930s-era mansion built by the Denman family, is often booked for weddings and other events.The pavilion is a gift from the city of Gwangju, South Korea, one of San Antonio’s 11 sister cities around the world. The relationship dates to 1981, when Gwangju became San Antonio’s first sister city in Asia.
“It is hoped that this ‘pavilion of Gwangju’ will offer many opportunities to strengthen the friendly relationship between Gwangju and San Antonio, as well as inspire an in-depth understanding of Korean culture and traditions by the American public,” the inscription reads.The park only has about a half mile of trail in total, including a loop around the pond near the pavilion.
We saw people walking their dogs and baby strollers through the area, and some children had made a makeshift hut out of fallen limbs. A circle of stone blocks offered a place to sit under the canopy. One odd sight we noticed was a heap of potato peelings and other fruit and vegetable scraps laying on the ground.
