The committee tasked with redrawing San Antonio’s City Council districts approved a map of the new districts Tuesday.

All of Brackenridge Park is set to be part of District 1 following approval of a new City Council district map.The committee tasked with redrawing San Antonio’s City Council districts approved a map of the new districts Tuesday, moving part of Brackenridge Park that’s currently in District 2 into District 1.

The City Council is expected to vote on the redistricting at its June 16 meeting — a formality after it delegated the map-drawing process to a committee of two residents from each district plus three representatives appointed by Mayor Ron Nirenberg. “Some of y’all don’t understand, during segregation there were places we couldn’t go, but we could go to Brackenridge Park,” said Linda Tippins of San Antonio Fighting Back, a group dedicated to fighting substance abuse. “This is our park. I want to tell my great, great-grandchildren, we’re going to Brackenridge Park in District 2.”

Some residents who live near the park say they want it to be represented by one council member so that it will be easier to address concerns about issues like traffic and parking. District 2 residents who showed up protesting the change say keeping the park in their district is a matter of principle; they don’t want to lose a cultural asset.

“This process does not impact access to city services. It will not impact your trash pickup. It will not impact your ability to go to a library, and I imagine the logical conclusion is, yes, a park,” said Castillo Daily. But committee members opposed to the idea argued that the group had already reached a final map in its earlier meeting and approved it with the support of both members who represent District 2, Dwayne Robinson and Devorah Frost. On Tuesday, Frost and Mohammad Rasool, who attended the meeting in Robinson’s place, were among those pushing to restore Brackenridge to District 2.
