At the confluence of the San Pedro Creek and San Antonio River just south of downtown, a sculptural new pavilion is rising from the banks. Commissioned by the nonprofit San Antonio River Foundation (SARF) and slated to open at the end of 2017, the threeacre Confluence Park will serve as an educational outpost for teaching schoolchildren about the watershed, and as a recreational facility for the wider community. The total project budget of $12.8 million, raised primarily through private donors but with some public funding, includes a maintenance and education endowment, which—in response to local educators’ needs—will allow for transportation for students to and from the park.
