City Park on the San Marcos River offers grassy lawns, riverbanks for floating/kayaking, ornamental bridges, public art (mermaids), flowers and shaded tree lines — great for relaxed nature and waterscape shots. No entry fee; parking and restrooms on-site; accessible paths and pet-friendly. Best light at golden hour along the river or early weekday mornings to avoid crowds; summer afternoons are hot and busy, bring water and sun protection.
