Beautiful place. Nice wide trails. Good amount of shade. Doesn’t feel sketchy.

Beautiful park. First time here, picking up trash with the San Antonio River Authority. There was prior flooding, leaving loads of trash on the riverbank. This park is very rich in biodiversity and very peaceful.

The park is located in a great location to start your walk or bike ride along the San Antonio River. There is plenty of parking and the park patrol patrols the area.

Visiting Espada Dam. Great fishing spot, no luck but fun practice. Go earlier in the day for cooler waters. We parked in the roundabout near the pavilion. Brought our umbrellas, chairs, small cooler, and fishing gear. I sat under the trees but there are also nice cemented steps for far casting through out the trail. Lots of history and wildlife to explore you can either walk or bike.

Always so beautiful. Everyone says good morning. I've made park friends where we see one another and chat a little. We encourage each other and talk about weather. Every morning at the park is a moment of peace and place to clear my head while exercising.

I walked a little down every trail and they are all nice. I saw other walkers and people with dogs. There's a lot of picnic tables and even a huge covered picnic area that you can call to reserve. There was minimal trash and I saw people walking around, picking up the trash. There was plenty of shady areas while you walked any of the trails. It's really cool seeing the river so placid in some areas and more furious in others. This place would have five stars from me except the portapotties were absolutely disgusting and I saw a worker poke his head into one before walking away from it.

Lots and lots of wild life! Fish, happy biters! And even found some old medicine bottles in the creek bed, great hike on a nice clean un intrusive bike trail, also emergency call units and phone chargers along routs. All in all made for a very nice outing

Excellent park with walkways going into down town or out past 410. This goes trail goes for miles along the river walk river with a variety of changing scenery. A beautiful place for a stroll with family or pets and many tables for a picnic/barbecue. There are red birds, torture and ducks that fly around you or swim on by. There a also plenty of plaques with historical information regarding San Antonio, missions , rivers, Aqua reserves and crops grown previously.
