Olmos Basin Park in San Antonio, TX

Nestled in the shade of many healthy green trees, the Olmos Basin Park in San Antonio offers respite from the sun for locals and tourists.

Over 20 picnic areas, each with a functioning grill for barbecuing, make this an ideal lunch stop for visitors to the San Antonio area.

A lively creek borders the park, further offering a cool sanctuary from the summer's heat. For bicyclists and joggers, circling the area is also a paved area made especially for that purpose.
