Arrive early on weekends
Main parking fills up on nice Sundays and popular times, though overflow parking is available across the suspension bridge.
Plan for portable toilets
The park has porta potties rather than traditional restrooms, though reviewers confirm they are kept clean.
Great for mixed-age families
Separate playground structures exist for toddlers and older kids, preventing younger children from being knocked over.
Excellent shaded picnic spot
Covered pavilions, picnic tables, and abundant shade throughout make this ideal for hot San Antonio days.
Watch paced bikers on trails
Fast-moving cyclists use the paved paths, so keep young children close and stay to the right when walking.
