Sewell Park is the perfect place too cool off on a hot day. The park is located on Texas State University campus along the crystal clear San Marcos River. Visitors can enjoy the 72-degree water by taking a cooling swim or floating in tubes, kayaks or canoes. Rentals are available at the Outdoor Center or visitors may bring their own.
Visitors who need a rest from the water will find several activity areas open on land. There are two sand volleyball courts, open fields for frisbee, an outdoor basketball court and picnic areas. These are all free and open to the public.
There are several spaces in the park that can be reserved for classes and larger gatherings. These reservations cost a fee and can be made online.
