What to do in Waco!

Located near downtown Waco, Cameron Park is a 416-acre oasis with towering trees, two rivers, breathtaking cliffs, playgrounds and a multi-use National Recreation Trail System. 

The Waco Suspension Bridge is the oldest Suspension Bridge still standing in Texas. Built it 1870, it was the first bridge across the Brazos River. This stunning bridge was built with cables supplied from John Roebling's firm, which built the Brooklyn Bridge. Today, it is a pedestrian-only bridge and is a wonderful place to watch the river roll by.

This park winds next to the Brazos River. There are beautiful views of the river and limestone cliffs across the river. Plenty of picnic tables and places to hang out.

Airport Park is on the northern banks of Waco Lake, near the dam. Beautiful to drive thru at sunset to see lots of deer and Lake Waco. When you check in at the gatehouse ask for a drive thru pass and let them know you are just driving thru to see the Lake. 

Woodway Park actually consists of 3 separate entrances or parks at the very end of Estates Drive. The second entrance gets you the best views perfect to see the lake at sunset! 

Weekday parking available at the Pavilion parking lot located at 1 Pavilion Way. 

The Carleen Bright Arboretum extends over 16 acres that are home to lovely botanical gardens.
