You’re tottaallyy an Aquarius. We all have that friend who likes to mention our astrology sign when mentioning our personality. Our zodiac signs got us thinking about which local park best suits San Antonians star-written signs.

Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)

Confluence Park, 310 W. Mitchell St. | Your indoor voice doesn’t exist, but that’s what makes you special and why we gave you this park. You’re obsessed with self improvement and so is Confluence because it hosts weekly outdoor yoga sessions.

Capricorn (December 22 – January 19)

Woodlawn Lake Park, 1103 Cincinnati Ave. | Capricorns are the responsible people and are motivated by the insatiable craving of success, and that’s why it pairs with Woodlawn. The park is always hosting events and goes all out for Fiesta + the Fourth of July — Woodlawn plans it all and has to have it all.

From the editor
I am a huge fan of the Historic Pearl. When my college roommate/best friend Sarah comes to San Antonio to visit her parents, we always meet up here. I love to visit my favorite restaurant Southerleigh, grab an Old Fashioned from Sternewirth in Hotel Emma, browse around in Feliz Modern, and scoop up some ice cream from Lick.
