With longer days, kids out of school, and uninspired streaming releases, it’s easy to get squirrely during a San Antonio summer. Luckily, Alamo City locals have no shortage of things to do without breaking the bank. Whether looking for family-friendly fun, educational opportunities, art projects, or fitness, these budget-friendly summer activities will keep vacation season more woohoo than humdrum.

Get moving at Brackenridge Park
The Brackenridge Park Conservancy and fitness nonprofit San Antonio Sports will get locals’ hearts pumping with Monday yoga classes, Wednesday boot camps, and Saturday Pilates sessions. The free workouts are designed for all ages and levels, but Pilates participants should bring their own mat, towel, and water.

A historic structure in Brackenridge Park that was once critical to San Antonio’s early growth recently suffered from a leaky roof while awaiting a long-delayed multi-million dollar restoration.

Working with the city in April, the nonprofit Brackenridge Park Conservancy placed a durable lightway rubberized membrane over the Water Works Pumphouse, one of San Antonio’s oldest intact industrial structures. The building is slated for restoration under a 2017 bond project augmented by $4.6 million from the conservancy, Bexar County, and the Conversation Society of San Antonio.

SAN ANTONIO — As Easter approaches, families are flocking to local parks with campers eager to secure the perfect location for the holiday weekend.

The curfew was lifted last night at 11 p.m., and campers wasted no time setting up their sites.

Brackenridge Park is hosting an Easter egg hunt on Saturday and a sunrise service on Sunday. Brackenridge Park Conservancy is also looking for volunteers to help ensure the park is cleaned throughout Easter.

San Antonio, TX — Brackenridge Conservancy is putting a twist on their East Weekend Celebration. They are partnering with Pura Vida Awards to provide live music.

Chris Maitre, Brackenridge Conservancy’s Chief Executive Officer, says the live acts can be seen in the Joske Pavilion.

“We have a ton of live musical acts,” Maitre said. “We have about eight acts spread across three days, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. It’s mostly featuring Tejano music.”

Maitree says park goers will also be able to take pictures with the Easter Bunny on Saturday and hunt for eggs from 12 p.m. to 1 p.m.
