    Little friends

    We don't come here often enough, it's always so much for the both of us. The playscape is huge, kids can run around and climb for hours, plenty of swings, slides, and even a little Zipline.

    Just part of the massive wooden castle.

    This park is beyond awesome! It's is aptly named the Children's Park because it is the dream of every kid everywhere for a park playground. I wish I took more pictures, but we were so busy playing, I just didn't think about it. Here's the scoop: -The play scape is a gigantic wooden fortress castle type structure. When you see it for the first time, you will just say, " Wow!" -There are so many places to climb, hide, explore, and even just sit and relax. I doubt anyone could get bored at this place. -There is even a troll next to one of the bridges. A troll!!! -Tons of swings! -Lots of nice bench seating for the parents to sit and watch or when the kids need a water break. -The bathrooms, at least the girl's side, were pretty clean and well kept for being in a public park. -The water from the water fountain was nice and cool! -It's right next to a river. I'm not from the area and don't know which one, but it is right there. You can walk to the water and even jump in off of a little concrete pier type thing. The river was nice and cool and refreshing on a 95 degree day like today. You also get to watch the river rafters float by. So much fun! Moral of the story, get over here and play. My only complaint is that this is an hour away from my house. What are you doing, get to the Children's Park now!

    Awesome and fun place to take the kids. This place is definitely worth the drive if you are coming from San Antonio.

    Love coming here & just listening to the water. Good views. Some good areas to sit & hang out…read more Limited space in my opinion to hang out but love taking the dogs for a walk out here. Parking can be difficult sometimes but overall it is a nice park. Hoping they will re-open the other side of it at some point.

    You know those scenes in movies where kids are swinging off old ropes into a shady river while…read moretheir friends are making out downstream, and you think, "Where did these punks find such a cool and private place to hang?" Well, congrats, you just found that place via Yelp. John Stokes park is wedged between farmland on the other side of I35, down the narrow and unsuspecting Cape street. Even on a Sunday, the park wasn't so busy that there was nowhere to sit or have to ourselves, and the people there made a comfortable mix of college kids, adults, and families. The best part of the park is the 30ft high, man-made waterfall that drops into a sort of cove. A perfect touch. Chances are, you'll see fearless kids flipping from the falls into the water below, which is at least a sight to see, if you are not the daredevil type. There are also park benches here for eating, drinking, or talking. If you live here in town, forget the Sewell Park swimsuit competition. Forget the Cheatam Street theme park crowd. John Stokes state park is the best place to experience and enjoy the San Marcos river. Tip: Much of this river park is tree-lined, so if you need direct sunlight to enjoy swimming in the cool river water, visit around noon when the sun is overhead.
