🌿🐾 Chris Park in San Antonio, Texas – Art, Memory, and a Place to Reflect

Simba and I visited Chris Park in San Antonio, Texas — a one-acre urban oasis and living memorial created in memory of Christopher Goldsbury by his mother, artist and philanthropist Linda Pace. Opened in 2005, the park was intentionally designed as a place for reflection, play, and connection, with art and landscape woven seamlessly into the space.

Unlike a typical city park, Chris Park feels deeply personal. Every path, bench, and open area carries meaning, creating an environment that invites visitors to slow down, reflect, and simply be present.

If you enjoy meaningful public spaces, art that tells a story, and hidden gems that connect community and memory, Chris Park is a must-see stop in San Antonio.

🌵 A Park Designed with Intention

Chris Park blends natural beauty with thoughtful design. Lush plantings soften the space, while winding pathways guide visitors through areas meant for contemplation as well as play.

Site-specific artwork by Teresita Fernández adds emotional depth to the park, including stone benches engraved with lines from Chris’s own journal and a striking “Starfield” installation that represents the constellations visible on the day he was born.

Nothing here feels accidental — every element contributes to the story the park quietly tells.
