It is very scenic and is good for taking photos. There are a various amount of wildlife here depending on the day but the ducks are always around. I usually like to walk around and take photos of whatever is round during my visit. Many people walk there dogs around but dogs must be on a leash. There are open areas where you can have a picnic, and there are some tables and bench around as well. Only downside is there are no restrooms expect the portable ones. Overall I really enjoy spending time here.

Used to be one of the most peaceful places to go chill but with the advent of Pokemon Go, and the fact that there is a Gym and some 5 poke-stops here it has quickly tuned into a great place to get in shape and meet new people. Still beautiful, this park features a duck pond and a Korean pagoda as well as a labyrinth maze (though its only about knee height at the moment). Come early as parking can fill up.

This place is so nice to walk around. There is a trail, a pond where you can feed the ducks, geese or fish and is generally nice for an outing that is semi active. There is not a playground and there is one picnic table where you can sit. There is a small flower garden as well. Very enjoyable and shaded parts are on the trail too!

The entrance is off Mockingbird Ln one way in one way out. Its confusing at 1st. Its a Beautiful hidden park for a quick city getaway. Brought my kiddos for a nature walk and we all enjoyed it. Some people were there reading a book,others having a walk or jog. The ducks making the lil lake serenely calm. Nice place for pictures

This is now a public park. A very quiet place, except for the ducks. The ducks are always looking for food and will come up to you. There is a list of what you can feed the ducks, including what they prefer, and what not to feed. The main building is normally closed, open upon request. This is wheelchair friendly.

This is like an emerald gem in a large city I didnt even know it existed except for a fluke. It has a large pond and some Oriental structures that transition away from a more American classical main house and makes it a pleasant stroll to help you feel like you are no longer in a large city.

Peace and quiet. A large hand painted pagoda overlooks a small pond with curly feathered ducks. Antebellum house like in the movie Gone With The Wind. Lots of parking, shade, walking trails, trees, and open natural grounds. Walk around barefooted and restore your good health.

I would go here for walks to get out the house. The pond and trail in the park are pretty cool. I must admit, its pretty tempting not to go inside that amazing looking gazebo. I do wish the trail was longer but the park serves its purpose pretty well.

Quiet spot in the heart of northwest SA. Wife brought me here for a nice stroll around the grounds. Although the estate is smallish and the pond is receding, this is a relaxing place to feel like youre in the countryside without leaving the city.

Ive always loved this Park but recently my vehicle was broken into and important items stolen. All while within 50 ft from vehicle, during daylight, while busy with visitors, within an hour of my visit. Needless to say, i havent visited since.

A little gem off the beaten path! This park is excellent. Great paths and wonderful scenery while strolling through the park. A nice place to get away from it all located in the medical center area in San Antonio.

Nice park, but the crime from local neighborhood is a definite damper... Each of the past 2 times we have been there multiple cars have been burglarized... Unfortunately, this time ours was one of them this evening.

It used to be beautiful , whoever is in charge has let it go down. The ducks dont even get in water of how green an nasty it looks and smell. Water has dropped a LOT. The crane has left. Horrible

This is a very nice small park. It has places to walk, picnic tables, and a small lake. The Korean monument is beautiful. Great place for lunch. It has a large number of trees and a lot of shade .

What a lovely park! It is small but very pretty with the Pavillion and garden. The pond is serene and has lots of ducks. Breezy and shady in summer. It would be a great place for a picnic.

This beautiful park would get a higher rating from me if it had at least one small restroom for the public. You have to drive a distance to find a public restroom. Very inconvenient!

Got married here and the venue is beautiful. Cant get over the quality of the mansion and how hidden from the city it really is. Come here for a relaxing walk or to get married!

This is a great little park tucked away right near the highway. There are some really nice shaded trails, a little pond with geese, and also some cool statues and structures.

Cool place. Lots of shade and nice walking trail. Still, it does seem underdeveloped and somewhat forgotten. Which is cool and all, right up until you need a restroom...

I frequently go for walks here and although its nice and peaceful it needs some TLC. The lake is somewhat empty, smelly, no landscaping or maintenance to speak of.

I love this park, great for taking a stroll and relaxing. Good place to walk around and having to worry about the sun. Only thing that is missing is a restroom

Path is about a half mile. You can do the hill or take the gravel path around the pond. Lots of ducks and geese. Very popular location for photographers!

Beautiful park tucked back behind the medical center. The Korean pavilion form our sister city is definitely something to see if youre in San Antonio.

Really great peaceful park. Great for pets or a quick walk. Plenty of picnic tables but no grills. Usually see many people studying and relaxing.

Great views, nice pond with a walk trail around the whole thing. We came here for family pictures and couldnt have been happier with the setting.

Nice shade and landscaping. Cool architectural features. Short walking trail. The pond is pretty scummy. Construction currently underway.

Great little retreat in the middle of the city. Decent place for photos with the cypress-lined pond, old estate home and Asian park features.

Its a little run down and smells from the pond. The ducks were very aggressive also, we had to help our toddler not get bit by several.
