If you’re a nature lover in the New Braunfels area, there are few better places to get in touch with Mother Nature than at Landa Park. This public park is a truly wonderful place to spend an afternoon, whether you’re looking to explore, relax or even get in your daily workout. There is a series of running and walking trails that wind their way through the lush greenery, while the long bridges that traverse the rivers add a scenic view to your route.

If you want to get an even closer look at the gentle waters, Landa Park rents out tubes for adults and children that enable you to spend the day floating along the river’s lengths. There are also paddle boats and areas where you can feed the ducks, and you can even fish from the sturdy piers with the proper license. Picnic areas provide shady spots for lunch outdoors, and the sand volleyball court is the perfect addition to any fun-filled day in the park.

Runners flock to New Braunfels' Landa Park early in the morning, jogging in the shade of its towering oak trees and offering warm welcomes to passersby as they go. The distinct community vibe that permeates this 51-acre park is a big part of what makes it so special to locals, according to reviews. More often than not, a police officer is even perched at the entrance, ensuring every car that enters is traveling a safe speed.

If that isn't enough to sell you on this local park, then perhaps its wealth of activities will be. A miniature train chugs around its 51 acres with guests aboard. Paddle boats are available to take out on placid Landa Park Lake. There's a wading pool and playground where children can play, a stage and amphitheater for fresh-air performances, and sand volleyball courts and horseshoe pits. More than 75 grills are scattered throughout the park, as well as 300-plus picnic tables, so head there early in the afternoon to snag a spot for a picnic lunch.
