Park that features paddleboats and train rides; great for families.
Reviewed By 360rebeccar - New Braunfels, United States
Landa Park is located in New Braunfels, on the edge of the Texas Hill Country. The crystal clear Comal River runs through the 51-acre Park, and is home to many types of water fowl, including ducks and geese. Shaded by ancient live oak trees, Landa Park features walking paths, a golf course, a putt-putt course and a miniature train that will thrill any child. You will likely see deer hanging about the park, but please don’t feed them or the water fowl. It is against the local laws. Landa Park also features an arboretum, with lovely trees and plants coloring the site. You can walk, jog, splash in the wading pool, ride the train or just visit with friends. Dogs are welcome, on leash.

Gruene Hall was offering live music by "The Georges". Music was 50's - 70's rock and country. Beautiful covers of Elvis, Roy Orbison, Willie Nelson, Waylon, etc. Drop in, pop a top on a long neck, kick back and enjoy the music of yesteryear. Enjoy!
