Good spot to fish i recommend fishing at 4 -7 with cut up bluegill for catfish or in the early morning when its not too hot. Cast out to the middle of the River with no float and let it hit the bottom, use a big weight maybe a 2 oz for distance. For Bass i recommend fishing the south side of the River south of the dam use a nightcrawler cut in 3rds then thread it on a bait hook size 10 or 12 with 3 split shots 8 inches above the hook no float just hop it. For tilapia i recommend using a cast net on the eastside of the River their is a dock throw a cast net out there.

Love the new additions to the park. The walking paths are great. The fishing areas are terrific. Love the atmosphere. The only issue would be the restroom area close to Military Dr and having to see the oil refinery next door.

And lovely slow drive through the park. Picnic benches available for lunches or gatherings free of cost. There is water nearby to put your feet in, go fishing, or just enjoy the sites. There is often an ice cream truck parts nearby and many people enjoy riding bikes or going for a walk. Very nice Natural Area.

To make the bridge standout going into Brooks City Base they should do it like W Hausman. Lights with different colors and a Welcome to Brooks City like the arch in Woodlawn Park. Give this a thumbs up if youd like to see this on the Southside

Looking for a place to fish with my son, and have finally come to realize that inner city fishing is no good. No place to fish and the places there are to fish, there are no fish. Sounds fishy to me. From now on, Im sticking to the coast for fishing.

Review №54

Very amazing place to walk, see, and feel. The whole place is something to learn about, its not just a park but it was an area that provided water to flow towards the other presidios. The parking is small but its okay. Plenty of room. Good bike and walking trail and there is an education center nearby so everything is pretty much here. Watch for the weather and bring plenty of water. Texas weather is no joke.

Review №56

I gave it 3 stars because it is nice when you go during the week. There arent so many people there trying to give you dirty looks. We rarely go here because I think Brackenridge Park is alot better. The people are friendly, theres more for the kids to do and they can also play in the water if it gets too hot, most of Brack is shaded, except the playground, which we rarely use because my son loves biking the little trails. But sometimes we dont feel like driving far so we will come here for a very short while. If you have a long board and no kids the trails are pretty fun.

Best place to fish in San Antonio Ive literally caught over 50 fish in a matter of 3 weeks and Im really new... excellent views, great for the family to hang out. There is an officer with park police I think his name is Chris dude is super cool and friendly and truly helpful wish all cops were like him. If you have the chance bring your chair and just go sit super peaceful. Only thing google says the park closes at 11pm that is WRONG it closes at sunset !!

Great park, the only thing holding it back is the annoying park police running people off while they are enjoying the walking trails.

Review №84

The scenery is beautiful and theres is plenty to do at the park. you can go fishing, biking, walking, skateboarding and explore the little walk ways through the trees. some of the park is currently under construction but when its finished its gonna look amazing. the only reason i give the park a 4 instead of a perfect 5 is because the water fountains are placed far away from each other and dont work sometimes but other than that the park is a beautiful peaceful getaway just remember to bring water and watch out for bikes.
