A proposal before the San Marcos City Council may tighten the rules on alcohol consumption in city parks. Will Burney has more:

The San Marcos River is a favorite recreation spot for Texas State students and city residents alike, but a recent proposal now before the City Council may change the way people are allowed to relax by the river. The city's Parks and Recreation board recently voted unanimously in favor of a proposal that would ban the public consumption and display of alcohol in city parks. The City Council plans to discuss the proposal at a later meeting.
SB: I don't know. I don't think it's a good idea, but I also think that people would find another place. If they just ban it here and other places, there's always somewhere else to go
If the proposal passes, then drinking at parks like Rio Vista would be illegal.The Parks and Recreation board chose NOT to mention the river itself in the proposed ban. There's already a ban on consuming alcohol in fenced pool areas as well as the children's park. For Bobcat Update, I'm Will Burney.
