What a wonderful place to spend some quality family time. Away from devices and connected to a park full of wildlife. So relaxing. And what a privilege it is to see the smile of your child’s face glowing with pure joy. Very easy to get to. Plenty of parking. And plenty of friendly ducks. We were able to get up close and personal with the swan. Unfortunately, we did not have a chance to use the playground or basketball court this time. But there is plenty to do here, plenty of games, you can bring and have a blast with your family, your kids, and your loved ones. Don’t underestimate the joy of the park. Playground: Kids playing with kids. With plenty of parents keeping an eye on everyone. Restrooms: Allows you to enjoy your time at the park without having to leave. Dog-friendliness: Plenty of room for your pets to roam. And plenty of kids that would want to pet your dog. Picnic area: Nice picnic area. it is a great spot to bring snacks and beverages so your family can recharge after playing on the playground and basketball court.
Beautiful park and very peaceful, even with all the ducks and geese squawking around you. There's a basketball court and trails to run on and even a dock you can fish off of. I loved it!
Beautiful jewel near downtown with a model sail biat crowd around on most weekends. No swimming, this is a lake to sit and watch the waters while you relax. A walking trail wraps around it for exercise. There is a primitive public unisex restroom, so save it for emergencies. No fires allowed.
I love going here for walks when I'm looking for some fresh air. It has a nice little workout area along the walking path. Plus everything you need for a picnic and even fishing if you want. As you can see, I actually caught a fish jumping out of the water while taking pics of the birds, lol. They even have a pool that will be open for the summer on June 17th. Free for everyone.
My Daughter and I visited Woodlawn Lake Park last weekend. It is a lovely area, that I'm sure is even more lovely in the Spring because of the large number of trees. It was very clean on the day we visited.This was my first visit. I thought it was so cool to see part of the skyline that included The Tower of the Americas, The Basilica, The Frost Bank, and The Tower Life Building. The birds were very active. The lake was very swift and a bit choppy, and had sediment near the surface, but it was still beautiful. I'm assuming the recent storm may have whipped it up. ? There are playscapes, tennis courts, picnic tables, benches, basketball courts, walking or jogging paths, and more. The lighthouse is charming, and you can even catch a glimpse of passenger planes heading to and from the airport. The park is normally open daily, from 5:00 AM-12:00 AM. I look forward to our next visit.
Delightful urban pond/lake with public pool, decent public restrooms, short walk/run trail, and kayaking from the Expedition School for $15 Thursday through Saturday. Not the biggest park, but it's hard to beat a natural space with downtown San Antonio and the Little Flower Basilica as a back drop. Playground: Two playgrounds seem to be a hit with the kids Restrooms: Decent public restrooms similar to a nice roadside rest area. Dog-friendliness: Definitely dog friendly place and people. Picnic area: Many families picnicking, fishing, and enjoying the public green space.
Came here to feed the ducks at sunset. Perfect relaxing place to spend an evening. Bring oatmeal or bread to feed the ducks and enjoy the view.
Nice park and walking trail. My dog loves it! There's a small dog park across the street but we prefer to explore around the lake. Dog-friendliness: If your dog is ok around lots of ducks and geese it's a nice place to walk them. There are plenty of water fountains around for dogs and people.
So... IF YOU GO WALKING WITH YOUR KIDS...... Be aware of needles broken glass near and around the trail. Playground areas no issues yet... lot of trash in around and near the lake. Fishing is okay..... if you are fishing aim in between fishing piers... also between pier and platform.
I love it here. Early morning walks. People please keep the restrooms clean. The public restroom near the pool has been locked for weeks. Meanwhile we walk early mornings full of coffee and don't have anywhere to use restroom. Now they have locked it up an no one can use it. Please do better citizens. The park is for everyone. Restrooms: Neighbors do your best at keeping our parks clean. Be a good person it doesn't cost you anything.
