About the Venue

Hemisfair offers one of the most destination-like free water-play stops in central San Antonio, combining the city-listed splash pad with The Springs, a series of shallow water features, plus Yanaguana Garden's major playground. It is especially useful for families who want water play in a walkable downtown setting with restrooms, seating, and a wider park experience. Official listings show splash availability from 9:00 to 21:00 daily March through October.
