Recognizing that proximity to the Valley’s main traffic artery makes the site highly accessible, Alamo is designing the park as a regional draw that will serve residents from the city and neighboring communities alike. The term “all-inclusive” is taken seriously.The park is being built to ensure that children and adults of all abilities can participate fully in play and recreation. That means accessible play structures, thoughtful layout, and surfaces and equipment designed with mobility in mind. Beyond physical accessibility, the park will include sensory gardens that cater especially to children on the autism spectrum and others with sensory processing needs.These gardens will feature a variety of textures and plants, allowing visitors to touch, compare, and experience nature in a more interactive way. Technology also plays a role. The park is planned with Wi-Fi connectivity so that families who may not come to market, while also welcoming gated and private neighborhoods that offer enhanced security and exclusivity. For many families, those gated communities represent peace of mind and a safe environment to raise children. Retirees and seasonal residents, particularly winter Texans, remain a vital part of the local housing ecosystem. The Alamo Country Club stands out as a major draw, blending brick homes and RV sites in a 55-plus community with its own golf course and dedicated security. The mix of amenities and community feel make it a destination of choice for those looking to enjoy their retirement in a warm, welcoming setting.
