Land Bridge Update An Important Announcement from Phil Hardberger Phil Hardberger Park Conservancy has met its $10 million fundraising goal for the construction of the Land Bridge that will connect the two sides of the park over Wurzbach Parkway, fulfilling the pledge that the Conservancy made to the people of San Antonio and to the City. The fundraising effort was completed thanks to a $1.5 million gift from The Tobin Endowment, pledged by J. Bruce Bugg, Jr., Chairman and Trustee of The Tobin Endowment. In recognition of the gift, the bridge will be named the Robert L.B. Tobin Land Bridge. Phil Hardberger, park namesake and Conservancy president, announced the news at a press conference Wednesday at the PHP Urban Ecology Center. He shared his appreciation for all those who donated to the Land Bridge.

"This is the latest example of the heart and the spirit of San Antonio and its citizens."

— Phil Hardberger “Not only will this bridge improve the experience of visiting the park and the health of the wildlife in the area, it will be a work of art that Robert Tobin would have loved, attracting attention from around the world.”



— J. Bruce Bugg, Jr.,

Chairman and Trustee of the Tobin Endowment.

Bids will go out March 12 for the construction of the Land Bridge. The $23 million project is also funded through the 2017 City of San Antonio Bond, passed overwhelming by the people of San Antonio. The Land Bridge is the final piece of Phil Hardberger Park's Master Plan.
