Madla Greenway Trail
One of the standout features of VIDA is the Madla Greenway Trail, a publicly-accessible greenway providing residents and visitors with a peaceful retreat into nature. The trail meanders beneath ancient oak trees and alongside a seasonal creek, offering a serene environment for relaxation and recreation. Educational signage along the trail, created in partnership with Mitchell Lake, the San Antonio River Authority, and San Antonio Water System, highlights the importance of natural greenways to the region’s watershed, climate, and community.
These TAB awards add to the growing list of recognitions for the VIDA project, including being named Best New Community in San Antonio by YourSA and Best Overall Development by the Greater San Antonio Builders Association in 2024.
