Millers Pond Park in San Antonio, TX

Millers Pond Park in San Antonio has completed its renovation, passing its final TDLR accessibility inspection in February 2026. The project, located at 6175 Old Pearsal Road, involved improvements to the park plaza, restrooms, and parking infrastructure. The City of San Antonio Park and Rec Department served as the owner of record for this $480,000 initiative, which covered approximately 10,000 square feet of site improvements.

The scope of work included upgrades to the existing park plaza and restroom facilities, along with enhancements to the parking lot. The filing also listed possible construction of a new pavilion, additional overflow parking, picnic tables, and updated lighting. These changes aimed to improve accessibility and functionality for park users in Bexar County. The estimated cost of $480,000 places the project above the median estimated cost for similar renovation filings in the county, which stands at $250,000.

MP Studio was the design firm of record for the project. Stephen A Meyer served as the registered accessibility specialist, ensuring the renovation met required standards. The project was registered with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation in December 2024, and plan review was completed in the same month. Construction began in March 2025, with a scheduled completion date of June 2025. However, the final inspection was not passed until February 2026, confirming the project is now complete.
