Civic Park

Civic Park is the grandest of Hemisfair’s park series and an uncommonly beautiful urban green space in the heart of San Antonio. From culinary festivals to live music, community celebrations of all kind fill the calendar. The park offers enriching and captivating experiences that draw people together and strengthen our community. Whether it is a large-scale event, pick-up Frisbee game or a lounge chair in the water, there is truly something for everyone at Civic Park.
