The Veterans Park committee is a nonprofit organization committed to providing a park along Aviation Avenue in Universal City for veterans who have served in all branches of service. This will be the only park of its kind in the area planned to feature an amphitheater, playground, pavilions, memorial military walking trail and a fishing area on its 8+ acres.  Donations help support the endeavor to build this park that veterans, families and visitors of all ages can enjoy.

Veterans Park is a stunning nature park that serves as the beginning for a majority of the Cibolo Creek Nature Trails. Soon to extend the entirety of the creek. The trail map is linked below and includes additional information about each trail.

Veterans Park Custom Playground

Veterans Park Playground

In March, construction began on a custom designed fighter jet themed playground at Veterans Park. The custom design will not only be enjoyed by park visitors but will also be visible from the sky by all the JBSA Randolph pilots as they fly over Veterans Park. The inspiration for the unique fighter jet playground design was inspired by Public Works Director Randy Luensmann who wanted to have a military theme playscape for Veterans Park.

After researching for months to find just the right military theme playscape, Randy decided to design the playground himself and bring his vision to life. Jeff Mankins with Play and Park Structures took Randy’s hand drawn sketch and accepted the challenge of this custom design incorporating: a Custom Supermax playground structure for ages 5-12 years old, Fitness area, Tri Slack bridge, Inclusive Orbit, Cockpit area, powerhouse, benches, and shade sails over the wings and cockpit areas.

HAND DRAWING VET PARK

This playground project is expected to be completed sometime between May-June 2023.
