Having Fun and Doing the Right Thing in San Antonio — Episode 151

We know the importance of partnerships in parks and recreation,
and on today’s episode of Open Space Radio, we’re diving into an
exciting partnership between NRPA and Bobcat. As part of this
partnership, Bobcat has extended five grants, each worth $50,000,
to support five park improvement projects across the country.
Today, we’re excited to learn more about one of these projects
taking place in San Antonio, Texas.


We were thrilled to speak with Caryn Odenbach, brand and
experience specialist at Bobcat; Kristen Hansen, deputy director
of parks and recreation at San Antonio River Authority; and
Ayanna Williams, NRPA director of community and environmental
resilience.

improvement project will expand park access, build environmental
resilience, engage the community and create a sense of belonging
in the San Antonio community.
