San Antonio eyes new segment of Leon Creek Greenway
San Antonio City Council is working toward another segment of the Leon Creek Greenway in District 8 with a recent ordinance authorizing city sta to acquire an estimated 1.32 acres of land near I-10 and Camp Bullis. In a nutshell Situated in District 8, the land will be used in a project designed to connect The Rim to Raymond Russell County Park, according to city documents.

According to city documents, the trail design is already completed.
