A collaboration between Texas A&M University-San Antonio, and the San Antonio River Authority will create a host of new educational and recreational opportunities for the university's students and faculty, and the San Antonio community.Finalized in November, the partnership is based around a wonderful natural asset: 380 pristine acres on the South Side near Mission Espada. The property protects the scenic views along 2.2 miles of the Howard W. Peak Greenway Trail System, including 1.6 miles along the San Antonio River, surrounding the 40-acre Cassin Lake.
