The Hemisfair is currently being expanded and remodeled. For the looks of it, it seems like it will make this area look great. I can't wait to come back and see it complete.Full review by WaiPRUSA

I will try and not confuse you with too mush detail. Yes, San Antonio hosted the 1968 World’s Fair which was called HemisFair. Some years later, the San Antonio City Council named the remaining property, HemisFair Park. By 2010, of the original 92 acre site of the fair, less than 40 remaining as city controlled public space. The convention center, the Institute of Texan Cultures and the Federal Courthouse and GSA buildings occupied the majority of the site. So, a non-profit was formed called Hemisfair Park Area Redevelopment Corp. It’s purpose is to develop three world class parks: the Civic Park, Yanaguana Garden and Tower Park. As there will soon be three parks, City Council was asked to rebrand the entire 92 acres as Hemisfair - no capital “F” and drop the word park. So, it will now be a district within the city just like, King William, Lavaca, Monte Vista and others.
