Historical Significance

Brackenridge Park, a 403-acre urban oasis in San Antonio, boasts a rich history dating back to the Spanish missions era. Established in 1899, the park owes its existence to George Brackenridge's generous donation of 200 acres to the city. Interestingly, the land has served multiple purposes throughout the years, transforming from a military camp and a race track to the beloved zoo it houses today.
