Welcome
HemisFair Park was built to host the 1968 World's Fair. The park features cascading waterfalls and fountains, landscaped areas, historic buildings, children's playground, and the world famous San Antonio landmark "The Tower of the Americas".
In addition to the Tower of the Americas, shops and relaxing water features it is also home to the Magik Children's Theatre, San Antonio B-cycle, Universidad Nacional Autonoma de México, Instítuto de México, and the Institute of Texan Cultures, which offers year-round exhibits on the history and people of the Lone Star state and sponsors the popular Texas Folklife Festival each year.
HemisFair Park is located in downtown San Antonio adjacent to the Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center. Parking is available off of Bowie Street.
In August 2009, City Council created the HemisFair Park Area Redevelopment Corporation (HPARC) to manage and oversee the development of the HemisFair Park and its surrounding area.
HPARC meets the second Friday of each month at 8 am at the Henry B Gonzalez Convention Center Executive Assembly Conference Center located at 200 E Market Street.
Meeting locations are subject to change and will be posted on the agenda
