Due to issues that arose from garden planning, the grant money has been returned and the garden is not going forward.  Please use the pocket parks in Mahncke Park as excellent resources for open space to play, walk your dog, and hang out with friends! 

Would you like a new toilet?  Well, you can get one or two now for FREE!  That's right!  Just fill out the application from the SAWS website and make sure your house is older than 1996, mail it in, and you will receive a voucher in the mail to pick up your new toilet and install it.

This month’s MPNA general meeting topic will be about the renovations happening with the Mira Flores Park.  This park is off of Hildebrand, across from Incarnate Word, behind the AT&T parking lot.  It will eventually be part of the San Antonio river expansion and its renovation is very important to Mahncke Park.  The park is one of the oldest in Texas and we would like to see the park updated but keep its old quality and feel.  Please come to the meeting on Tuesday, February 16th to hear details on the proposed renovations.  

If you happen to see a house going up or some neighborhood construction and think it might not have the right permits, just call the code compliance department of the city.  Their number is 207-1111.  Mahncke Park is a City of San Antonio Municipal Conservation District Neighborhood and we want to make sure that the standards are kept by all who currently reside in Mahncke Park, as well as those moving in or building.  Thanks for keeping up the vigilance!
