Dear Members, Volunteers, and Park Patrons: 

March is almost here and that means the McAllister Park will be greening up soon and lots of folks will be out enjoying some of the best weather of the year. March is also a busy time for the organization as we are involved with a couple of big events in the park!

Dear Members, Volunteers, and Park Patrons: 

On Saturday morning as I drove into the park to set up for our monthly litter pickup, the phrase "feels like a hug from a canopy of trees" came to my mind. When people tell me stories of how they enjoy McAllister Park, a common phrase so often wraps up the end of their story, "it's my happy place!" 

"Ask yourself this simple question: Do I want a beautiful meal or a dreary one? A beautiful relationship or an ugly one? To live a beautiful life or an average one? There is of course a range in what we call beauty, but in the end the truth is that beautiful things endure. Beauty is resilient, it is life-affirming, it gives back to create more life."

— Alan Moore, Do/Design: Why Beauty is the Key to Everything

Astronomy in the Park is back! Join the San Antonio League of Sidewalk Astronomers (SALSA) every Wednesday during fall and winter months for stargazing and celestial viewing at the park.

Happy fall! Fall is officially here! We're looking forward to Fest of Tails: Kite Festival and Dog Fair, tabling in the community, and cooler temperatures. Read on for FOMP updates.

Two big announcements! Today is a big day and we're excited to share two big announcements to all of our members, subscribers, volunteers, and followers!
