Вудлон Лейк Парк

Woodlawn Lake is now considered one of San Antonio’s urban core neighborhoods, but when it was first developed in the late 19th century, it helped create a new frontier for the city’s growth. The neighborhood, on the near Northwest Side, was among the first subdivisions built outside San Antonio’s city limits when three investors laid its groundwork in 1887 through their company, the West End Town Company. The area, which was at the end of a streetcar line, was known then as “West End.” A few years after the neighborhood was founded, a dam was built across Alazan Creek to create the 80-acre Woodlawn Lake, from which the area gets its current name. The path around the lake is flat and wide enough for traffic heading in oppersite directions. there are water fountains for both people and pets.
