I grew up in Mancke Park, less than a mile from Brackenridge Park. We use to hear the lions at the S.A. Zoo roar at night. Walked to the museum a lot. I remember the Mc Garland diamond exhibit there and the year it got stolen from the museum.
My interest in Brackenridge Park can be summed up in four words: Brackenridge Park Miniature Railroad. The Zoo may run it now, but it's a great way to see the park. Stay safe and healthy.
May we keep it for the public. As the Brackenridge history SAYS. IT IS FOR THE PUBLIC. NO ONE WILL CUT DOWN THE HISTORIC TREES. NOR WOULD THEY COMMERCIALIZE IT. NO!
