Brackenridge Park

My son really enjoyed this place. Didn’t know that its connected to the zoo. But this place is nice. Best off its free for now.

It's a beautiful, scenic park with lots of unique ducks, many splitting paths, and a really cool bridge that the water passes over just barely that you can get your feet wet. Sometimes the ducks will come so close to you they can be pet! Love bringing my friends to this area every time they're newly visiting San Antonio. It's a great representation of what this city has to offer right in the heart of downtown, and the zoo is just a couple feet away!

Love it! What a pearl in the city! We are first time in San Antonio so I had asked Google for the sightseeing and interesting spots. It brought us to Japanese Tea Garden (the history and the 2.world war caused the name change to “Chinese…”) and we loved the beauty of this garden. Lots of small spots you can observe from different perspectives and find new charms. Bring time with you to explore and enjoy the views😇

Brackenridge Park is a true gem, a sanctuary of nature and history nestled in the heart of the city. With its lush greenery, towering trees, and winding trails, it offers a perfect escape for those seeking peace, exercise, or a breath of fresh air. Whether you're out for a leisurely walk, an invigorating run, or a calming moment by the water, this park delivers an unforgettable experience. The presence of lakes and rivers adds a magical touch, reflecting the sky and surrounding trees in their tranquil waters. Ducks and squirrels roam freely, creating a lively and serene atmosphere. Walking over the beautifully crafted bridges provides stunning views of the landscape, making every step an adventure. Families will love the well-maintained playgrounds, offering children a fun and safe space to play. The historic architecture throughout the park, including picturesque pavilions available for rent, adds a nostalgic charm, making it a great spot for gatherings and celebrations. Brackenridge Park is more than just a green space—it’s a place where nature and history come together, where every visit feels special. Whether you’re enjoying a picnic, watching wildlife, or simply admiring the scenic beauty, it’s a destination that never loses its charm. No matter how many times you come, you’ll always find something new to love.

I love this park!!! I love going there after I eat from the restaurants around the area. I also find it cute seeing the train tracks and seeing the zoo train go around!!! I love the lily pads!! 🐸 I see a lot of people eat at the picnic which I find so peaceful and adorable!! If I wasn’t so afraid of bugs, I would enjoy having a take out from the restaurants or food from home & eat there haha! I also find so pure that there is a public garden & someone has a chicken farm hehe!! 🐓 🪴 Much love take care!! 🤎💚🩵
