Schertz approves name for new 8.83-acre park

Schertz City Council approved the name “Meadow Run Park” for a new 8.83-acre park in the northern part of Schertz on March 17.

The park’s name—recommended to the council by the city’s parks and recreation advisory board—was inspired by the area’s “openness” and “meadow-like qualities,” according to agenda documents.

The details

The board followed the city’s naming policy, which encourages park properties to be named based on ecological, historical and geographical features. Horizon Park and Northview Park were two of the other names up for consideration, per agenda documents.

Meadow Run Park will feature an assortment of amenities, including:

• A playscape
• A picnic pavilion
• Two sports courts
• Two pickleball courts
• A practice soccer field and baseball field

The land is located along Parklands Way and adjacent to the Parklands Estates. There will be on-street parking and a future off-street parking lot, according to the city's Parks, Recreation, Open Space and Trails Master Plan.
