This park is well kept and a lovely walk right in the middle of town! Enjoyed the many families of ducks, and types of ducks, we saw along the way. Really beautiful. Full review by Maura G

When I lived in Boerne, I asked the same question as locals told me it was originally a creek.So I asked Mary Brady, who was the librarian in town for many years; here's what she told me. Indeed, in Boerne's early years, it was called a creek. As the town developed, that changed. When the road was named, the determining factor was the width from bank to bank; a creek was narrow, a river wider. This creek was wider than the designation so it became a river. Later on, the designation changed from the bank spread to the amount of water flowing through the creek/river bed. So that which was once a creek became a river, then a creek again. But the name stuck despite the river being demoted to a creek. Confused? Welcome to the club!!!
