Sometimes in cities like San Antonio, where the heat is oppressive and there are constantly people everywhere, you need somewhere to escape and reconnect with your inner peace. Brackenridge Park is that place. Its numerous ponds and waterfalls and its lush greenery will have you forgetting you’re in San Antonio. You’ll think you’ve just gotten off of a plane in paradise. Here’s an idea of what you’ll see in the park and why you need to put it on your summer 2016 bucket list.
You might forget you’re even in San Antonio upon entering the park.

The park is divided into several different themes - the most popular by far being the Japanese Tea Garden.

There’s tons of water throughout the park - a welcome sight in such a hot, dry city.

It’s hard to believe this park has been nestled in the city for so long and remained a hidden gem - especially given how breathtaking it is.
