New creekside green space opens beside Boerne’s River Road Park

Boerne has opened the creekside portion of a nearly 1.25-acre property beside River Road Park for public use, adding space for fishing, quiet recreation and enjoying Cibolo Creek.

The city announced the opening September 4. The property is in the 600 block of River Road and was purchased in fall 2024 under an arrangement that allowed the previous owners to remain through spring 2026.

After July flooding removed much of the separating fence, the Parks and Recreation Department chose to keep the creekside area accessible. Staff also installed new rails and gates along the dam.

Access does not extend to the entire property. The city says the existing home and rear portion remain closed while future options are evaluated.

For now, this is additional open space rather than a fully redeveloped park. The city anticipates a later planning process to consider how the site should complement River Road Park.
