The city of San Antonio is home to many exciting and beautiful parks. City Parks can provide a college student with a varitey of activities and entertainment. Parks are a great place to go to do homework, have a picnic or get in some physical activity for the day. Some of my favorite parks are the Brackenridge Park, the Eisenhower Reservations, Hemisfair Park, Travis Park and the Alamo Plaza.

Hanging out in the different parks in San Antonio is also a great way to get to know the city. Whether you want to venture out far from Trinity, or stay pretty close, you’re sure to find a number of parks in every area of the city. Brackenridge park, which is just down the street from Trinity, is one of the most frequented parks in the city. With picnic tables, open grassy spaces, trails and a train, you could probably participate in any activity you can think of in Brackenridge park.
In the midst of downtown San Antonio is Hemisfair park. Hemisfair Park is home to so much history of San Antonio and beautiful art and architecture as well. Hemisfair Park hosts a lot fun and cultural activities, many of which are free! The Tower of the Americas, one of San Antonio’s largest tourist attractions, is also located in Hemisfair park. One of the most attended events in Hemisfair Park is the World’s Fair. This event captures the heart and culture of many different countries around the world from April 6th to October 6th. Every year, over half a million people attend this event.
The parks of San Antonio are definitely a resource I would recommend taking advantage of. Going to the park on a beautiful afternoon is a great way to get some homework done in a beautiful environment. Also, going for a picnic on the weekend is a fun way to spend time with friends and get in some exercise by playing soccer or a game of capture the flag!
