“Hey, Wimberley, get out of your cars!” could be the newest slogan for residents and visitors alike with a program being explored by the City of Wimberley.
Council members are exploring the Urban Trails concept that connects parks, businesses, attractions and established parking areas with walkable footpaths that encourage people to park their cars and take short walks to their destinations.
At a recent city council meeting, Anthony Derringer, Associate Director of Recreation at Texas State University, showed how Wimberley would be particularly suited to the idea because of its small footprint and its existing parks – Martha Knies, Oak Park and Blue Hole Regional Park – and the parking areas already established in locations away from the square.
