Last summer, I visited San Pedro Springs in San Antonio, Texas, because I was intrigued that it has lasted so long. This park was opened in 1852, making it the oldest park in Texas. On a hot summers day, the shallow water pool is a blessing. The spring water is no longer coming from the spring, because the spring has dried up. The water is now pumped in to the pool, but don’t let that be a detraction. Experience the history, the culture, grab a churro http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Churro from a vendor, and enjoy the day.

Reminds me of spots here in Central Florida.
Yes! I went to Fanning Springs State Park Florida last summer. It is awesome! I will try to post a photo of the springs.
What is that shrine-looking mound?? My friend saw in i.r.l. and we’re all scratching our heads.
The mound is San Pedro spring which is now dry but use to flow with water.
