Kraft Park

Park Overview

Located in New Braunfels, Texas, Kraft Park is a cozy 9-acre neighborhood retreat that offers a little breath of fresh air for locals and visitors alike. This public space might not be massive, but what it lacks in size, it makes up for in charm and functionality.

The park features a walking path that comes in at 0.29 miles per lap (do about 3.5 laps and you've hit a mile - not too shabby for your step count!). There's something genuinely peaceful about this spot - it's clean, quiet, and just right for those moments when you need to escape the daily grind.

Trail Access

If you're looking to extend your outdoor adventure, Kraft Park connects to the County Line Memorial Trail, meant for when that walking or jogging bug really bites and you want to go the extra mile - literally!

There's also a nice neighborhood sidewalk circling the park that's ideal for the little ones. You can bring your kids with their bikes or scooters and let them cruise around without worrying about traffic - a win for both fun and safety.

Playground

The playground here has a thoughtful setup with areas designed for different age groups. Tiny tots have their own toddler area to explore, while the bigger kids can challenge themselves on the climbing structure that's made just for them.

You won't find traditional swings or slides here, but the equipment offers diverse play options that keep children engaged. Note that there isn't much shade covering the playground equipment, so during those scorching Texas summer days, it might be too hot for comfortable play - morning or evening visits might be your best bet.

Amenities

Fancy a picnic? The park's picnic tables and pavilion area make for great spots to enjoy an outdoor meal or small gathering. The shaded pavilion comes equipped with a grill for those impromptu cookouts and provides a welcome escape from the Texas sun.

There's a drinking fountain available to keep everyone hydrated during your park adventures. Just be aware that Kraft Park doesn't have public restrooms, so plan accordingly before you head out.

Community Space

At its heart, Kraft Park is a neighborhood meeting ground - a place where the New Braunfels community comes together to enjoy both recreation and nature.

With its modest footprint, open grassy spaces, and variety of features, this park hits the sweet spot for everyday outdoor enjoyment. It's particularly popular with families with young children, making it a valued local spot that residents regularly enjoy.
