This is a decent cultural park with art installations along the walk way and signage that talks about the history of San Antonio, and specifically, the neighborhoods around the San Pedro Creek. As of June 2018, only phase 1.1 has been completed (so it’s a pretty short walk right now), but it will extend further south in the coming years.

Remember, this a CULTURAL park, so don’t drag the little ones out there expecting to find playgrounds, etc.

It’s not in the usual touristy area, so it doesn’t get packed, and street parking isn’t terribly hard to find in this part of downtown.

Make sure you stop by and check out the San Antonio Soap Works building on the banks of phase 1.1. It’s the oldest surviving industrial building in SA. It’s an apartment building office now, so you can’t go inside, but you can walk around the outside of it and check it out.

There’s plenty of stuff to do nearby. Main Plaza, the Spanish Governor’s Palace, and the historic Bexar County court house are all within walking distance.

Come on out and check out what the San Antonio River Authority and the City of San Antonio have put together for us!

Oh, I almost forgot – you should check it out at night. I haven’t been there at night, but I have seen some awesome photos and I’m gonna have to check it out at night now. It looks really...

I am so impressed with the first phase of the San Pedro Creek Culture Park, but words cannot describe how wonderful the “Rain from the Heavens” public art installation is. So often public art feels like something created out of a million little compromises. This installation is so powerful, so thoughtful and so unusual. Kudos to the artist for making something beautiful and brave. And I tip my hat to the people who chose this work for this space. I especially enjoyed standing on the vibrating grate and feeling a low frequency hum as I gazed up at the position of the stars, our planet forever changed, a new hum being composed for a new era of human history in...
