Yanaguana Garden at Hemisfair

What a wonderful way to spend family time. This public park has something to offer for children of all ages. There is a splash pad, large checkers, ping pong and chess available. There is also agility playgrounds and a place for younger children to play. Food is easily accessible for an all day trip. There is also wade pools with plenty of seating for parents to watch their children. Park is kept up beautifully as well.

Yanaguana Garden is one of San Antonio’s best hidden gems for families! It’s colorful, creative, and packed with fun for kids of all ages. My kids absolutely love the water pump area—it’s the perfect way to cool off on a hot day—and the sand play zone keeps them entertained for hours. The whole space is beautifully designed, with climbing structures, swings, and plenty of open space to run around. It’s clean, safe, and always filled with laughter and new friends. Plus, there are plenty of seating areas and nearby cafes for parents to relax while the kids play. It’s become one of our favorite weekend spots. Highly recommend for a fun-filled family outing!

What an oasis of a park in San Antonio! Youd never guess you were in the heart of the city. My 18 month old son had a great time playing in the splash pad area as well as the playground. He made two new friends both named Penelope while splashing! The coffee shop right there is delicious as well! Rose white mocha iced latte was their recommendation and it was impeccable! The bathrooms were super clean as well and had a changing table in both women's and men's! Lots of park maintenance workers doting diligently on the park while we were there as well. Its definitely a city gem!

Had a blast. Good place to when you're trying to get out of the house

Lots of options as far as a playground - great for kids of all ages. My kids ages 9, 7, and 4 all enjoyed themselves! These were lots of other kids do play with too. And great seating for parents as well which sometimes lacks at parks. Splash pad but we didn’t attend as it was a tad cold. Shade structures are nice and great mature Trees.

Beautiful place, especially at night when lit up. Playground for kids and giant size activities such as chess/checkers for all ages. The little ice cream/snack bar has great options to cool you down in this Texas heat

We were there unplanned, but it was completely worth it! It have a nice places for breakfast and spend time

We love this splash pad. It’s not as big or diverse as others, but it’s baby/toddler friendly. Seating to watch your kids is shaded, and directly next to the splash pad, which is nice for safety and keeping an eye on them while relaxing. There are changing areas and a full restroom. No need to bring your own chair as they have plenty. The playground is nice and big, although mostly centered towards bigger kids. There is a small toddler play area, but it’s very very “baby”. Too small and elementary for my 2 year old to be interested. Also nice that there is a few places to eat and grab snacks nearby. Parking is either in the garage next to it, or street parking along the outside.
