Culture and Recreation
The City of Schertz is proud of its parks, its public swimming pool, and the city sponsored 4th of July Jubilee.
Over 100 acres have been developed for parks and sports fields, which are used regularly with sponsored programs by the Buffalo Valley Youth Association, a non-profit organization, for all sports throughout the year.
Public parks also provide picnic facilities and playgrounds. Lighted basketball courts and a Junior Olympic-sized swimming pool are open to the public throughout the summer months.
The Fourth of July Jubilee is an annual affair sponsored by the Schertz Chamber of Commerce and the City of Schertz. This event is one of the highlights of the summer of the city and surrounding area.
One of America's most unique cities-San Antonio- is just minutes away. The Alamo, The River Walk, Tower of Americas , Fiesta Texas, and Seaworld are just a few of the one-of-a-kind places to visit.
There are several large lakes and rivers within the surrounding area that would satisfy most fishermen, divers, picnickers and boaters.
Due to local military influence, there are several active veteran's organizations: VFW, DAV, American Legion and their auxiliaries.
Fraternal organizations such as Masons, Knights of Columbus, and Elks are also located in the area.
Service organizations include the Schertz-Cibolo Buffalo Valley Lions Club.
Sororities include Beta Sigma Phi and the Order of the Eastern Star.
Business and social organizations include Kiwanis, Jaycees, and the Schertz Chamber of Commerce.
There are several Girl Scout and Boy Scout patrols. A mixture of backgrounds and cultures with retired military families makes for traditional values, yet with an open mind to new and progressive ideas.
