Landa Park is a 50-acer, beautiful respite for locals and visitors alike. With its many uniquely charming attractions, this park is a place you will want to visit and revisit many times over.
Landa Park is known for the beautifully clear water in its lake and streams. Visitors can enjoy the water in many different ways. There are extensive paved and unpaved walking trails to explore and see every unique view. From the beautiful bridges to the historic gazebo, the paths around Comal Springs are a charming and peaceful place to walk, ride bicycles or skateboard.
Visitors can also enjoy the clear water by fishing at the Fishing Pier on Landa Lake. Fishers are welcome to use a regular rod and reel to fish in this area. A state fishing license and freshwater fishing stamp are required.
For visitors wanting to enter the water there are 3 spring fed pools they can enter. These pools are shallow and great for children. One of these three pools is a wading pool located on the Comal River, or Landa Lake. The water is a pleasant 72 degrees year-round.
During the summer months, visitors can rent a paddleboat to explore Landa Lake and the Comal Springs. Paddleboat rentals are 3 dollars a person for a 30-minute paddle. A minimum of two tickets are required to be purchased. Children 3 years old and younger are free.
Visitors looking for a more unique and complete view of the park can buy a ticket for the Landa Park Miniature Train. During summer months the train is open daily. During other months of the year the train is open on weekends and holidays. Train tickets are 4 dollars per person. This train is an enchanting experience for young children.
The Landa Park Mini Golf Course is open similar hours to the train and costs 4 dollars a person.
The variety of activities available make Landa Park a wonderful place to spend any day of the year. Come and enjoy a day in the shade of the ancient oak trees gazing at the crystal waters.
