  • Your Kids Are Going to Love
    10 Places In San Antonio Your Kids Are Going to Love www.chicagotitlesa.com 1. Brackenridge Park This sprawling park has way more than just green space — it encompasses a stretch of the San Antonio River and includes the Japanese Tea Garden, the Sunken Garden Theater, the San Antonio Zoo as well as ball fields and pavilions. Older kids can run off some energy on nearby trails while parents eat a family picnic. Before you leave, don’t miss a ride on the San Antonio Zoo Eagle, a miniature train that loops around pretty much the entire park. From its starting point right across from the zoo, it makes stops at a few different Brackenridge attractions, including the Witte Museum. 2. The DoSeum Since opening in 2015, The DoSeum has quickly become the go-to children’s museum in San Anto- nio — it’s full of hands-on activities for kids of all ages, from toddlers to fifth graders — though adults will admittedly learn a thing or two as well. The museum’s displays run the gamut, from celebrating creative arts to tinkering with science and technology. Specific exhibits include the Big Outdoors, the Sensations Studio (where kids can experiment with light and sound), an innovation station, and the Spy Academy. 3. Six Flags Fiesta Texas Families looking for an adrenaline fix while still spending time together should hit up Six Flags Fiesta Texas. Not only does the park have some of the best roller coasters in Texas, including the Superman Krypton Virtual Reality Coaster, Iron Rattler, and Batman: The Ride (the world’s first 4D free-fly coaster, which just might be as terrifying as it sounds), but it has rides and attractions for the whole family, regardless of age, energy levels, and attention spans.

  • Introduction Part 1
    Introduction Part 1 The Brackenridge Park Landscape A Condensed History Imagine a clear, cold river originating from a deep, gushing artesian spring, not trickling, but rushing, chasing itself through prairie grassland. It forges a winding path that stretches southeasterly, like a ribbon unraveling for nearly 250 miles. Life blooms and bursts in many forms along this river’s upper banks for thousands upon thousands of years, until eventually, a city grows. The Brackenridge Park landscape was once a stomping ground for mammoths and other prehistoric life. It was part of a ritual migratory route for Indigenous Americans. It is the origin of one of this country’s earliest democratized water systems, executed through a Spanish system of acequias and built by Indigenous people to irrigate and provide potable water to the Spanish missions (1719 – 1724), and eventually to provide water to secular settlements for almost one hundred years (1770s–1850s). It is the site of early industrial development in the form of limestone quarries that first built up the city (1850s – 1880). It is the site of a Civil War Confederate tannery and sawmill where enslaved people labored (1863 – 1865) and the site of a cement company, which, by the hands of workers, further contributed to the building up of San Antonio (1880 – 1908). This landscape then became a grand, shady, scenic driving park and a river swimming hole that attracted locals and tourists from around the country (1899) (figures 1 and 2). It became the grounds for a charming display of buildings that melded German architectural styles of “half-timbering or rock-and-mortar methods”1 with native limestone materials that resulted in distinctly local buildings and structures that still dot the park and the city.

  • HISTORY of WATER in the SAN ANTONIO RIVER VALLEY William
    HISTORY OF WATER IN THE SAN ANTONIO RIVER VALLEY by William Feathergail Wilson Geologist Water Quality Planning Alamo Area Council of Governments September 1970 INTRODUCTION It is difficult to see the broad green valley at the edge of the Sonoran Desert today. The tall tan buildings and the asphalt usurp the green valley into a gray maze. The eye is diverted to the myriad of red, green and cloud colored lights that illuminate the streets and corners. Cars and trucks move across the Cottonwood Valley at great rates of speed. There is no time to look at the valley. It is lost in the maze of moving things. Before the tall buildings and the thousands of miles of asphait and concrete, the broad green valley inspired many men to many dreams. As one approached the valley from southwest on horsaback or wooden wheel cart, it stood out in stark contrast to the dry naked brush country of the Sonoran Desert. Cool soft breezes \-lhispered up the valley to the hills. The big green leaves of the Cottonwood trees rustled and twisted. A mirage of light and dark green seem to flash from the trees. The quiet Cypress trees grow tall and round, half standing in the clear \-later of the river and the springs. The quail and the Hexican dove flow from the tall, green rich grass. The river valley of San Antonio was untouched by mans' rage to crowd himself into j cubicles of land and bricks. If you can see the valley for a n·. I brief moment the thought arises ...
