A <br />Introduction <br />The City of San Marcos (City) strives to be a destination for tourism and, more importantly, <br />home to 50,000 long -time residents and students. Dealing with intense use and limited budget, <br />the San Marcos Parks and Recreation Department has embarked on creating a plan that <br />establishes the framework for a long -term, successful system. <br />The City of San Marcos parks and open space system will consist of parks, natural areas, and <br />linear greenways that foster community gatherings, provide opportunities for active and <br />passive recreation for area residents, and preserve significant natural and cultural resources. <br />Accordingly, this document has been developed to reflect these values, and follows the Texas <br />Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) guidelines for a locally prepared master plan; which <br />would make the city eligible for future grant funding for parks, if pursued. The planning horizon <br />is ten years, and covers the period from 2010 to 2020. <br />
