Beautiful landscape and a lot of gorgeous art along the trails. The trails all lead to different Historical Missions depending on how far you walk. Great place to run, jog, ride your bikes or if you're like me, a beautiful place to walk your dogs. I'd highly recommend walking to the missions. It's great exercise and you get to take pictures of the beautiful missions for wonderful memories with your family. Speaking of family, you get to fish at the river and BBQ at the park while kids play on the playground. Great place for birthday parties and family gatherings in general. Fantastic park, would highly recommend dedicating each walk on the trail towards going to a different mission each time you walk so you have a goal to strive towards and not get bored...

Lots of green space for games and sports is available, and a bike trail is nearby. For some extra sightseeing, the Hot Wells Springs are up the road on S. Presa.

There's covered pavilions, bathrooms, a huge metal art piece with cacti growing atop it (that was unexpected and cool), and a brief metal bridge. There was minimal trash and I saw someone going around picking it up. This is a lovely park next to the San Antonio river with a lot of wide open...
