Before becoming one of San Antonio’s oldest parks, the area known as Brackenridge Park was treasured for its many water springs. The springs provided water to missions in the area, such as Mission San Antonio Valero — now known as the Alamo.
Brackenridge Park has served as a gathering place for 12,000 years with Native American artifacts found in the area dating back as far back as 9,200 B.C.
This year, the park celebrates 126 years since its founding with its second Brack Bash from noon to 4 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 15 at the Sunken Garden Theater.
