Escape to Brackenridge Park

Relaxation and Activities

When the River Walk becomes too bustling, escape the heat and the crowds by retreating to Brackenridge Park. Spanning 343 acres, the park provides a serene environment ideal for relaxation. Stroll along rustic stone bridges and shaded walkways, or explore the Japanese Tea Garden, a haven for botanists. Dress casually to make the most of the park's jogging trails, golf course, and athletic fields. Additionally, the park frequently hosts outdoor concerts at the Sunken Garden Theater.

In and around the park, notable attractions such as the Witte Museum and the San Antonio Botanical Garden (located about a half-mile east) await your visit.

Visitor Experience

Visitors often praise the park's train, which travels through the zoo and provides a convenient way to navigate the expansive area. Moreover, Brackenridge Park is a highlighted stop on many of San Antonio's top tours, adding to its appeal.

Location and Accessibility

Brackenridge Park is situated north of downtown San Antonio in the Alamo Heights Area. The most convenient way to reach the park is by car, with both a free parking lot and parking garage available on-site.

Hours

The park is open daily from 5 a.m. to 11 p.m.

Tickets
