Kerrville-Schreiner Park offers limited reopening after flood

“Although the Guadalupe River in Kerrville-Schreiner Park remains inaccessible, the park continues to be an ideal spot for family outings or weekend getaways,” said Rosa Ledesma, assistant director of Parks and Recreation.

Kerrville-Schreiner Park reopened its recreation hall and riverside RV loops Monday after infrastructure damage forced closures, though river access remains prohibited indefinitely.

The Kerrville Parks and Recreation Department announced the partial reopening affects the 30-amp and 50-amp RV sites on the river side of the park. Visitors can now make reservations for these facilities.

“Although the Guadalupe River in Kerrville-Schreiner Park remains inaccessible, the park continues to be an ideal spot for family outings or weekend getaways,” said Rosa Ledesma, assistant director of Parks and Recreation.

The park maintains most amenities, including a 14-mile multi-use trail system, shaded playground and pollinator garden. Officials said the hillside area offers extensive recreational opportunities.

River access remains closed while crews conduct cleanup and debris removal operations. The department cited severe infrastructure damage as the reason for the continued river closure.

Park officials urge visitors to follow posted signage and avoid debris-filled areas for their safety during ongoing restoration work.
