About

Historic Park

Brackenridge Park is a 343-acre urban park that has been a gathering place for San Antonians for thousands of years, dating back to Native American settlements. Donated to the city in 1899, it is home to the San Antonio Zoo, Witte Museum, and Japanese Tea Garden.

Recreation and Relaxation

The park offers miles of walking trails, picnic areas, and the headwaters of the San Antonio River. The historic Joske Pavilion and the Sunken Garden Theater are popular venues for community events and performances.

Miniature Train

The San Antonio Zoo Eagle train winds through the park, providing a nostalgic ride past historic structures and scenic landscapes. The park's lush trees and river setting make it a cool retreat in the heart of the city.
