Overview
Grant Description
The Zacate Creek Project is located on the bank of the Rio Grande River, a half-mile west of the US Customs borders in Laredo, Texas.
The proposed development will provide new park activities for neighboring residents of the El Azteca community while restoring and improving a critical section of Zacate Creek - a key Laredo tributary to the Rio Grande - and providing a unique recreational landmark for residents to enjoy.
The project is the cornerstone that will catalyze the recreational activity in the area and provide a truly unique amenity that residents can enjoy, plus features that can better directly serve the underserved communities within the project area.
This project will enliven this space and provide a barrier-free place for people of all economic, physical, and social backgrounds to enjoy.
