McEnery Park was carefully designed for children’s creative play. For older kids, there’s a structure of nets and ropes to climb on. For little ones, there are colorful spring toys and a model boat. But most children (and their parents!) will be playing in the river. That’s not the Guadalupe River itself, but a re-creation of the Guadalupe. This new “river” forms the central spine of the park.
