    Central to downtown, has great playgrounds for all ages and older trees to shade kids from the burning San Antonio sun, tennis courts, couple pavilions for parties, bathrooms. Would expect this to be a popular place on the weekends.

    This is the best park we've ever been too! Multiple playgrounds all of which are very unique and fun for the kiddos. The entire place great and very well maintained even the bathrooms are kept up. With 3 kids I'm always looking for awesome new parks. This park is about 25 minutes from where we live but it well worth that drive. We've come twice and both times had wonderful experiences. The second time around our kids brought their bikes to ride around the sidewalk and they had the best time riding here. It doesn't get too crowded especially because there are so many playgrounds and things to do. Definitely recommend!

    MacArthur Park is very conveniently located. They have spent a bunch of our tax dollars re-vamping the playground and now it is really nice. The day I went there were tons of kids having a great time. It has 4 pavilions.

    I love McArthur Park!

    Lots of playground equipment, you will need closed toe shoes due to the chips used to cushion ground.

    Yanaguana is one of the best (if not the best) kid playground/park in the city!…read more Yanaguana Garden is located within Hemisfair. The park itself includes multiple sections for all ages including the main playground which was designed to be an inclusive space and follows the American Disabilities Act standards for public playgrounds. A new toddler play area which is perfect for babies and toddlers. There is also the Union Pacific splash pad which is only open during certain months of the year, so make sure to check their calendar for hours. They also have a sand play area, as well as another section with small games like ping pong, chess and many more games. Overall, this garden/park offers a wide range of outdoor activities for people of all ages. I've been taking my kid here since he was born and as he is growing and exploring new areas of Yanaguana I can truly see how well thought off this park is. To all the locals that don't travel to downtown too often, I would definitely recommend giving this park a chance before winter comes. Also, for all the tourists coming with little ones that need the space to run around for a couple of hours, this is most definitely the spot for you!

    Beautifully maintained clean park for the entire family, friends catching up, or just chilling out…read moresolo. There's separate picnic tables by the Kimpton hotel side that's great for a quick meal too. Lots of splash pads and shaded areas with chairs for the parents to watch from a distance. Bathrooms aren't super clean but I think there's other spots less frequented where babies/toddlers can go for a quick change of clothes. Parking is going to be a challenge on the weekends but paid parking isn't too far away.

The paths themselves are not difficult at all and plenty of spots to stop and sit at if needed. They have this pond in the middle of the park that had so many ducks and turtles. It was a nice view and enjoyed it very much. I saw many people there with picnics and also someone doing yoga in front of this building i thought was cool. They had these really cool korean buildings/monuments that someone build (artists from Korea but look up the city parks for more details). You can't step inside them but very beautiful to look at. For sure a place worth visiting to just sit and relax at if you like.

They have a half mile loop that you can take around the pond. The pond is cute and it had ducks. I like the Korean pavilion located by the pond. You can go there for a quick walk or do a few laps around the half mile loop. You can also take your food and have a picnic under the shade of the trees. Parking is available on site and there's plenty of it. The entrance is on one side and the exit is on the other side. There are restrooms available on site, but I didn't use them, so I don't know if they were clean. I would definitely return when I want a short walk in a shaded park.

    Now this rivals Fridriech Wilderness as the premier park/hike in the San Antonio area!…read more There are plenty of hills and climbs here with beautiful background scenery that accompanies the trails here. Whether walking/hiking/biking, be prepared to be captivated by your surroundings and also out of breath from all the movement. I can only imagine what this park is like in the summers with the hot sun scorching on you. According to some reviews, there is a tower that gives panoramic views of SA. Unfortunately I could not reach this tower as I was pressed for time. But i did get quite the workout as I trekked along the unpaved trails and soaked in the views of plants, trees, and the wildlife. Additionally, there's a covered pavilion and rest rooms at the parking area of the park. And plenty of parking. This is worth visiting when you're in the SA area; just make sure you've got proper footing and bugspray!

    Beautiful park with pavilions, picnic areas with bbq grills, benches throughout, children's play…read morearea, dual service water fountains for people and pets, gorgeous trees and flowering plants. Multiple, well-marked and mapped trails with varying levels of difficulty and accessibility provide perfect spaces for walking, running, hiking and cycling. Also offers plenty of rugged trails and even a rock climbing wall for extra challenges! And don't miss the view from the tower! Beautifully maintained with fixed restrooms on one side and portable lavatories on the other. Park police and cycling trail stewards offer routine safety and support.
