Travis Park, Municipal park in downtown San Antonio, United States

Travis Park is a flat, grassy park in downtown San Antonio, Texas, across the street from the restored Saint Anthony Hotel. A light gray paved walkway crosses the lawn, and a dark circular patch of soil surrounds the base of a large central tree. A shield-shaped sign on a black metal post reads "AVIS PARK" with "EST. 1870" beneath a white monument silhouette.

The land was bought by Francisco Garcia in 1819 and passed to Samuel Augustus Maverick in 1851; Maverick, a signer of the Texas Declaration of Independence and wartime mayor of San Antonio, died in 1870 and deeded the property to the city. It was first named Travis Plaza for Alamo commander William Barret Travis. In 1899 the United Daughters of the Confederacy placed a Confederate memorial here, designed by Elizabeth Montgomery and carved by Frank Teich; the city council ordered its removal on August 31, 2017.

The park hosts an annual outdoor jazz festival. Its name honors William Barret Travis, commandant of the Alamo, and the land was once part of the Alamo Mission. A Confederate memorial designed by Elizabeth Montgomery stood here from 1899 until the city council removed it on August 31, 2017.

The park lies across the street from the restored Saint Anthony Hotel in downtown San Antonio, with paved walkways crossing the lawns and picnic tables near the sign. An annual outdoor jazz festival fills the grounds, so expect crowds then. The site sits about 198 metres above sea level.

In 1953, Rena Maverick Green, granddaughter of Samuel Augustus Maverick, led the San Antonio Conservation Society's campaign that stopped a proposed underground parking garage beneath the park. The site now hosts an annual outdoor jazz festival.
