MacArthur Park

MacArthur Park is melting in the dark.
All the sweet green icing flowing down
Someone left the cake out in the rain
I don’t think that I can take it
’Cause it took so long to bake it
And I’ll never have that recipe again
Oh, no!
People, remember not to leave your cakes out in the rain here. There are pavilions here, and oak trees to put your cake under. There are even restrooms here, but please don’t take cake into the restroom.
There are lots of places to enjoy that sweet green icing on your cake: Playgrounds, jungle gyms, picnic tables– along with BBQ grills if you want some grub with that cake.

I dont know if i have seen a oark with better playground in San Antonio. clean well maintained and designed for kids of all ages. We brought a group ranging from 18 months to 12 years and they all found something to do and enjoyed the park and playground area even the adults got in on the fun using some of the older playground equipment like the spaceship that looks like a relic from the 70s. I would recommend bring a picnic as even the tables are nice and well shaded.

The perfect park if you are looking for somewhere to picnic with good playgrounds for the kids. Lots of playground equipment for the kids and shaded seating for the adults.

Wow… i must say myself and my family love this park… with having a 4 year old, the many different play areas is awesome, they have rock walls, balance beams, and awesome slides… not to mention the many bbq pits great for a birthday or just a family outing…

This is the best park for families to come and have birthdays or family reunions. As a matter of fact my first visit here I saw both.
What makes this park so special than all other family park is the picnic tables, play areas, and pavilions there are. I never seen enough tables for families to use at any other parks. This park is thought out right.

My family and I love this park. Plenty of playgrounds, benches, safe, and kept up. It is nice to see the city take such good care and allow a wonderful place for families to make memories. My son had a blast playing with all of his new friends he made.

This park is great. There are 3 play areas that are good size. Child swings, regular swings, slides, covered pavilions, tennis courts, parking all the way around. The kids have plenty of shade to cool off in, the park has plenty of trees. Just great all the way around. You won’t regret it. its great for packing a picnic and letting the kids burn off some energy. it’s never crowded.

This park is an absolute blast, I just wish it were closer — that would be my only complaint! ;) Don’t map quest this place, because if you do — like me, you’ll likely get lost. Just try to find it on a map and get there yourself by following your own directions.
Once we got there we were pleasantly surprised. It’s an extremely large play area and totally fun for kids of all ages. They have a «big kid» play area and they also have a spot just for the smaller kids. EXTREMELY spacious, so doesn’t feel like there’s a million people there at once while you’re trying to obviously watch over your child.
There’s plenty of seating, lots of parking, lots of shade for the hot summer months. Overall, an amazing park. I was even talking to a woman who was there with her grandkids, she was telling me how long the park had been there and how there’s still some play areas that have been there since the 60’s! Pretty neat.
Check it out! :0)

MacArthur Park is very conveniently located. They have spent a bunch of our tax dollars re-​vamping the playground and now it is really nice. The day I went there were tons of kids having a great time. It has 4 pavilions.
