Review of "River Acres Park"

River Acres Park http://nbtexas.org/1698/River-Acres-Park

 This park is very beautiful up top you get see the river , and the park is really clean. There was a lot of people there eating and hanging out, I even saw a lady reading a book enjoying her time in the sun. As for shade there is a lot of trees and the park has so many benches up top you can use, also trash cans every so often  to keep the park clean. The only down fall is if you have to use the restroom you have to us a porta potty and in heat that can make for a really bad smelling time. On the lower level is where the water is and spots are limited. Now I'm not sure if it's  cause we were underneath the bridge area but there was some trash here and there. We still got a good little spot.

We took our son there for his birthday and he really enjoyed it. He got to use the tube to go down this waterfall and have fun with his sister and brother. I wouldn't recommend taking little babies there because we did and it was kind of hard. The waters current is really fast and there is a lot of rocks and moss. It is very easy to fall and get carried down the river very fast if you loose your footing and carrying a one year old is not the easiest thing to do. I would say a safe age is 5 years old so that if they get in trouble they can yell for you.We even tried to go river diving to hunt for some river treasure. I was not so lucky but my wife found a Dime yup a whole .10 cents sitting at the bottom of the river, the boys didn't find anything either but we had a good time. 

Great spot in New Braunfels
