Location and Lifestyle

San Marcos is located at the heart of the advanced technology corridor linking Austin and San Antonio and offers a high quality of life, with access to a rich array of natural resources, recreational opportunities, and cultural amenities. The spring-fed San Marcos River meanders through the city between park-lined banks. Picnic areas, recreation buildings, an Olympic-sized swimming pool, tennis courts, baseball fields, and one of the nation’s largest wooden playscapes dot the nine city parks. The river is also a focus for swimming, canoeing, tubing, fishing, scuba diving, and snorkeling. While nearby lakes are ideal for sailing, powerboating, and windsurfing. San Marcos’s mild climate lets enthusiasts pursue golf, tennis, cycling, fishing, and other activities throughout the year. Live music, performing arts, and cultural exhibits are also plentiful. Visitors and residents also enjoy annual special events such as Summerfest, Summer in the Park, and Sights & Sounds, a festive display of Christmas lights along the banks of the river in December.
