A free city-operated splash pad inside Elmendorf Lake Park, which also hosts one of San Antonio's free public pools. The park offers shade, restrooms, pavilions, and lakeside picnic areas.
What's on site. OpenStreetMap maps parking at this location. No public toilets are mapped here — worth knowing before you commit to an afternoon.
When to go. Peak summer highs in San Antonio average 95°F. Mornings and late afternoons are far more comfortable than the middle of the day, and shade is worth planning around.
How long it's open. Roughly 34 weeks a year, from March to October. Seasons shift year to year and municipal pads often close early for maintenance, so check before a long drive.
