The Compassion Path is a trail of 11 trees along the walking and jogging path in front of the Long Campus. Each tree along the path is marked with a special plaque beneath it conveying a different compassion statement at every tree, meant to encourage peaceful relaxation and reflection for those that walk the path. The project is part of the
Compassionate San Antonio Resolution, the first council resolution Mayor Nirenberg signed when he took office in 2017, which affirmed San Antonio as an official Compassionate City, now among 450 cities around the world. San Antonio was one of the first compassionate cities worldwide to integrate systemic compassion into educational institutions through
Compassion Integrity Training.
