Seguin Walnut Springs Park, Protected area in Seguin, Texas
Seguin Walnut Springs Park is a protected area in downtown Seguin that sits two stories below street level. It features a network of walkways and bridges along Walnut Branch, a tributary of the Guadalupe River, with picnic areas and outdoor seating throughout.
The park's infrastructure was built in 1933 by the Civilian Conservation Corps, which constructed stone retaining walls and created paths along the natural waterway. These Great Depression-era improvements shaped many of the features visitors see today.
The park holds the designation of Lone Star Legacy Park from the Texas Recreation and Park Society, reflecting its importance to locals. Visitors can observe how natural pathways and gathering spaces encourage people to spend time in nature together.
The park is easily accessible on foot from downtown Seguin at 317 W Court Street with clearly marked trails. The shaded environment and moist ground mean the area stays cool, so it is comfortable for walking even on warm days.
The park descends two stories below downtown street level, creating a distinct microclimate where native trees and plants thrive in moist soil conditions. This sunken setting gives visitors the feeling of stepping into a hidden world separated from the city above.
