Just a 3 minute drive or a 15 minute walk from your accommodations in Medina. Lovely Town Park lined with cypress trees along the crystal clear Medina River. The river is not too deep here, depending on the spring flow during the year. There's an easy access shore along the south bank. Bring chairs and your towels. No bathrooms at site.
