Parks & Nature
One of the oldest parks in the U.S. and a lovely walk through history, with a paved strolling trail and gorgeous trees. Humans lived here long before the first mission was established (and yes, moved to what is now downtown and becoming what is now The Alamo)

This gem in an old quarry adjacent to Brackenridge Park is a wonderful place to walk and photograph. Learn its complicated history or just enjoy the pools and gardens.

Brackenridge Park has a long history in San Antonio and is adjacent to the San Antonio Zoo, the Japanese Tea Garden, Sunken Gardens and the Witte Museum, which has great natural history information and is wonderful for kids and adults. It has plenty of space and trees for a city park, and a great little train that chugs around it all day.
