MURAL IN THE MAKING

As the cheers of river goers and splashes of tubers jumping into the San Marcos River fill City Park, Karly Schlievert works on a new mural next to the San Marcos Recreation Hall. 

The mural, which has been commissioned by Keep San Marcos Beautiful, aims to showcase the river and encourage visitors to keep litter out of the waterway. 

“This mural, the goal is to show that our river doesn’t just end or do a loop like a lot of people might think when they come to visit,” said Amy Thomaides, City of San Marcos Community Enhancement Initiatives Manager. “(The mural) shows that it goes all the way to the Gulf Coast.”
