It gave me a chance to stretch or warm up before getting to Comal River. According to the website tubeinnewbraunfels.com, the part of river after the chute is on the park ground. I enjoyed the tubing experience. But I was trying to catch up with my friends, I didn't fully investigate the park features. I just saw a big warning sign with information at the front entrance and the last public exit by the river. I noticed the life jacket stand but I didn't know if it was free or not. There weren't that many people last Saturday. I guess it was a good time to go tubing.

We were walking and just impressed with how beautiful the greenery, water, and ducks were. Upon walking more we discovered a little paddle boating area. For $20 we had such a great time! It was so calming. And as we floated around on our paddle boat we heard the calming bells of the train that goes through the park. Such a calming experience all around. We caught up to the train and took a ride, so nice as the wind blows through the train. We got to see a baby deer! And some squirrels. So pretty! Upon our little train route you can see this park has everything! They have a park, pool, basketball court! Anything you could want. I would totally recommend we had such a great time!

Virtually no straight lines when you're walking around this park which makes for a really nice experience. The park is on a hill. For those people who may like to walk or jog with a little bit of an incline it is very nice. But if you are looking for a more leisurely stroll then parking near the Natural Recreation Center will allow you to do lapse around the pond without too much of an incline. In the mornings you can find a lot of people there walking their dogs. The playground is that the summit of the park. It is very nice and has a water area for hot days in the summer time to cool off. All of the structures at this park are very nicely designed. The pavilion would be a fantastic place to host an event along with the open amphitheater that's a long sided.

Just a nice quiet shady park that looks to be 3 acres . There are probably no more than 8 parking spots, but I've never seen the lot full. It's just a nice place to come and chill.

There are benches, picnic tables and a big grassy area in the middle- sometimes you'll see dogs playing fetch or kids running around. I feel like this park is overlooked as it's on a street corner and small, with a tiny parking lot. But it's perfect for exercise when you don't have a lot of time, or for older people and kids. My toddler loves just going around and around. Everyone here is friendly and it's just a great place to walk, sit or have a picnic. There is no playground but why do you need one when there are tons of birds to watch and listen to.

This park was created for Ferdinand Lindheimer, a local botanist around the 1800s. This role was…read moresignificant since according to Wildflowers of Houston and Southeast Texas (Tveten,1997), he ' collected fifteen hundred species in the south Texas area, over a period of thirteen years'. Keepin' pretty busy there, eh? Driving up to this little piece of land during a geocaching adventure, I just thought it was an angular roundabout. If memory serves, it's almost triangular in shape with the roads passing right around it (Lindheimer, Comal, & Gauda Coma). The cache was around the area of the monument which explained who Mr. Lindheimer was and his contributions to Texas. I think this is one of the things I love most about geocaching - you have the opportunity to learn so much about places you never knew either existed or knew anything about. In that same adventure, I found Lindheimer's house straight down the street on Comal (that will be in another review). P.S. If you happen to be a fellow geocacher, then be prepared to possibly get an applause after finding the cache. My partner in crime and I found out the owner of the cache and her husband have a sightline to the hide and came out to congratulate us afterwards (apparently quite a few cachers have received this welcome)! Very friendly folks too - retired vet and really sweet.
