SAN ANTONIO (Oct. 23, 2024) – Spurs Sports & Entertainment (SS&E) today announced Gunn Auto Group as the official naming rights partner of the park at The Rock at La Cantera and dog park, now known as Gunn Family Park and Gunn Family Coyote Dog Park. The naming rights announcement was revealed today at a ceremony attended by the Gunn family, SS&E and Bexar County, with special guest appearances from Coyote and SNIPSA puppies available for adoption.

“With places and spaces for San Antonians to connect and enjoy the outdoors, and a spectacular, new community hub, Gunn Automotive couldn’t be more thrilled to be a part of The Rock at La Cantera and the Gunn Family Park,” said Hunter Hale, President of Gunn Automotive. “And of course, we love our Spurs and are always excited to be some small part of ‘the team.’”

Gunn Family Park is a 22-acre park at The Rock at La Cantera campus with walking and biking trails that connect the Leon Creek trail system with the Howard Peak trail system. As the largest dog park in Bexar County, Gunn Family Coyote Dog Park has designated large and small dog areas and includes amenities like a dog agility course, walking trails, seating areas, dog wash stations and play mounds.

“I’m a big fan of The Rock at La Cantera, Frost Plaza and these two additional parks as cost-free gathering places for the people and pets of Bexar County,” said Bexar County Commissioner Grant Moody. “I want to thank the Gunn family for your partnership and generous contributions to these spaces. I look forward to the continued effort between the County and Spurs Sports & Entertainment to further develop this area for the betterment of our growing community.”

Gunn Gives, the non-profit arm of Gunn Auto, is also a longtime supporter of SNIPSA, an animal rescue organization, which took part in today’s event to help bring awareness to their mission of rescuing, rehabilitating and rehoming adoptable animals, and to encourage responsible pet ownership.

This official partnership is the culmination of a decades-long relationship built between the Spurs and Gunn, which includes memorable Gunn Auto ads featuring Spurs legends such as Tim Duncan and Manu Ginobili. Gunn Auto has fostered a history of community and business leadership in San Antonio since first opening its doors nearly 70 years ago in 1955.

“Moments like this help strengthen our community when two beloved San Antonio brands can come together to provide a beautiful, free outdoor space for the public, supported by Bexar County,” Frank Miceli, Chief Commercial Officer at Spurs Sports & Entertainment. “Gunn Family Park and Gunn Family Coyote Dog Park provide a safe space for all to enjoy, and we thank the Gunn family and the county for their continued partnership.”
