SAN ANTONIO – For several years, the Mays Family Foundation has given back to San Antonio and that giving continues with the largest donation that Hemisfair Conservancy has ever received.
In honor of the late Peggy Mays, the foundation has donated $1 million to Hemisfair to build a garden in her honor.
“It’s a wonderful feeling to build trust with a donor and to have them want to build something in the Matriarch’s memory that will last for generations. It’s really touching,” Anne Krause, executive director of Hemisfair Conservancy said.

A $1 million gift from the Mays Family Foundation is paving the way for a new garden at Hemisfair’s western edge. It will be situated straddling the former wide walkway that ran from South Alamo Street to the Tower of the Americas. That walkway has now been turned into Nueva Street, dividing Yanaguana Garden from the eventual Civic Park to the north.
Ann Krause runs the Hemisfair Conservancy and notes that there are quite a few homes along Nueva that were old already when 1968’s Hemisfair opened.
“Along that street are historic homes. And the garden that will be named after Peggy Mays is going to be planted on both sides of East Nueva Street. So that when one enters Hemisfair via East Nueva, they will encounter an extraordinary garden,” she said.
