The purpose of the Parks Department is to advance the parks, recreation and environmental efforts that enhance the quality of life of the citizens of the City of Schertz. The City maintains over 200 acres of park land and equipment, including a new ball field complex. The parks department is responsible for the use and maintenance of the new facility as well as coordination with recreational organizations, such as Buffalo Valley Youth Association.

The City of Schertz is proud of its parks, its public swimming pool, and the city sponsored 4th of July Jubilee.

Over 100 acres have been developed for parks and sports fields, which are used regularly with sponsored programs by the Buffalo Valley Youth Association, a non-profit organization, for all sports throughout the year.

Schertz is also home to the Schertz Soccer Complex which houses the hundreds of youth soccer players. Learn more about the Schertz Youth Soccer Alliance HERE.

Schertz is proud to be allied with the YMCA. Learn more about YMCA run operations in Schertz HERE.

Public parks also provide picnic facilities and playgrounds. Lighted basketball courts and a Junior Olympic-sized swimming pool are open to the public throughout the summer months. To learn more about our Park Facilities, click here. To make a reservation for a pavilion, call (210) 619-1600.

The Fourth of July Jubilee is an annual affair sponsored by the Schertz Chamber of Commerce and the City of Schertz. This event is one of the highlights of the summer of the city and surrounding area.
