Brackenridge Park

The general park is free and open daily 5:00 a.m.-11:00 p.m.; individual attractions keep separate hours.

Parking is free but distributed across the large district. Route directly to the Japanese Tea Garden, zoo, Witte Museum, Lions Field, train, golf course, or pavilion rather than using one general pin.

Use 3700 North St. Mary's Street only as a general reference. Park roads, river crossings, attractions, and reserved areas have distinct entrances.

Public restrooms and fountains are shown on the current park map at selected nodes; attractions maintain their own facilities during operating hours.

General park and Japanese Tea Garden access are free. Zoo, Witte Museum, train, golf, food, reservations, and events charge separately.

Major attractions and lots provide accessible routes, but river trails, historic structures, grades, crossings, and long distances vary.

Leashed dogs may use ordinary park areas; individual attractions, train, food areas, playgrounds, and events may prohibit them.

Picnics, train, zoo, Japanese Tea Garden, Lions Field playground, river walks, and museums provide many family options but are spread across a large area.

VIA routes, biking, rideshare, and nearby corridor connections serve the district; choose the exact destination before planning transit.

There is no current public swimming area or splash pad in Brackenridge Park, and river swimming is prohibited. Check attraction hours, construction, events, river conditions, and the current map before travel.

Check San Antonio's hourly heat index, lightning, severe-storm and heavy-rain alerts, flash-flood risk, air quality, drought restrictions, and current facility notices. Pavement, play equipment, limestone, and exposed trails become dangerously hot, while river and low trail access may flood quickly.
