...is a jewel of San Antonio. It's such a great place. On weekends it's packed to overflowing with birthday parties. Every picnic table throughout the large park is staked out and decorated with balloons, streamers, colorful tablecloths and often a pinata. Parking can be an issue, so be ready to walk.
The river winding through is open for fishing and offers lots of variety, including lily pads, different breeds of ducks and walls for sitting along its banks. At one part cars can drive through a section of shallow water to cross to the other side.
The zoo is next door to the park section. Some birds are visible in trees overhanging the fence.
A golf course is here.
A bright red miniature train runs a two-mile course through the park.
There are baseball fields and open areas for soccer.
Miles of biking/walking paths run through.
A great playground is adjacent to a large stone pavilion with rows of picnic tables.
It's just very pretty, with lots of shade, trees, paths, the picturesque mini-train and sloping river banks. Lots of green.
* This bridge is just one of the faux bois (fake wood) creations all over town done by the Cortes family. There is a bus stop on Broadway, a pavilion at Landa library, benches at La Cantera shopping center, among others. I find them very fanciful structures. They remind me of woodland fairy furniture.
