Supporting Our Community
SPW Contributes to the Development of the Saddletree Triangle Garden
Members of the City Beautification Committee, Shavano Park Women, and Scout Troop 650, supported by a $500 grant from the Native Plant Society of Texas, planted a new community pollinator garden in the triangle next to EMS headquarters on NW Military Highway.
Filled with yucca, mountain laurels, lantana and salvia, the garden will serve as both an example of how best to use drought tolerant native pollinator plants and a place of repose for bikers and joggers seeking the latest point of beautification on our renovated NW Military pathway.

SPW Sponsors Meet the Candidates for City Council
SPW was proud to sponsor an engaging Meet the Candidates event at City Hall, offering an excellent opportunity for our community to connect with the five individuals competing for the three open seats on the city council. This session allowed attendees to learn about the candidates' visions and plans for our community.

Weight Rack Purchase for Fire Department's Gym
Keeping physically fit is essential for a fireman's capability to serve the community safely and efficiently. SPW's donation of a weight rack to the fire department's gym directly aids in achieving this goal. Although the gym was started by the fire department, it is also utilized by police and city maintenance staff.
Shavano Park's 70th Anniversary Police Badge Sponsor
In honor of our city's 70th anniversary, the police department is wearing special commemorative badges created by our own police department. These badges were sponsored by numerous individuals and businesses throughout the city. Shavano Park Women is a proud sponsor of one of these distinctive 1950s-style police badges. We are grateful to the men and women who protect and serve our community.

Shavano Park's 2025 Arbor/Earth Day Celebration
SPW applied for and received a $900 Mini Grant from the Bexar Audubon Society. We utilized this grant to sponsor a raptor show during the city's Arbor/Earth Day celebration on April 12, 2025. Live birds of prey were soaring above the audience during a free-to-the-public raptor show at Shavano Park's Arbor/Earth Day celebration. People of all ages were fascinated as the raptors showcase their hunting techniques in thrilling free-flight demonstrations.
Bexar Audubon Society also participated in the city's Arbor/Earth Day event. Sharing information about raptor habitats, migration patterns, and the significance of "lights out," especially during the spring and fall migrations.
The raptor show along with the educational contributions of the Bexar Audubon Society allowed the public to gain insight into the important role raptors play in the ecosystem. Shavano Park is a habitat for various raptor species, and these presentations aim to foster a deeper understanding and appreciation among our residents for these predatory birds in our neighborhoods.
