Brackenridge Park
A large city park along the headwaters of the San Antonio River, home to the zoo, the Japanese Tea Garden and museums.
Brackenridge Park covers about 140 hectares. The river winds through an old oak forest, and the park contains the San Antonio Zoo, the Japanese Tea Garden, the Witte Museum and a miniature train, with stone bridges and old waterworks scattered throughout. Admission is free, and it is ideal for cycling, picnics and a full day out with children. It is about 2 kilometers north of the Pearl district, and parking is tight on weekends.
