Brackenridge Park is San Antonio's most popular public park, spanning 343 acres just north of the city's downtown district along the beautiful San Antonio River. The park was originally established in 1899 and is named in honor of its land donor, George Washington Brackenridge. Today, the park is home to the world-famous San Antonio Zoo and the Witte Museum, which offers unique exhibits detailing Texas natural and civic history. Landscaped gardens within the park include a Japanese-style tea garden and the outdoor Sunken Garden Theater, a free-admission amphitheater that presents free and paid admission concerts and special events throughout the year. Visitors can also enjoy the park's Lambert Beach and Lions Field Senior Center, along with a number of baseball fields, children's playgrounds, and walking trails located throughout the park.
