Camelot ES SPARK Park Initiative

The SPARK Program is a partnership between the City of San Antonio, San Antonio Sports, and the North East Independent School District to develop public school grounds into neighborhood parks. The SPARK Program began in Houston in 1983 and recently expanded into the San Antonio Area. Camelot Elementary School was selected as the first SPARK Park initiative in the North East Independent School District. On August 20, 2012, the Board of Trustees approved an Interlocal SPARK Program Agreement with the City of San Antonio Parks and Recreation Department, and San Antonio Sports to plan, finance, and construct a community recreation fitness park at the Camelot Elementary School Campus.
