AZTLAN is an important mythical location revered by hispanoamericanos for centuries. It has come to symbolize a paradise and also a rallying symbol for Hispanic pride. The beautiful mural painted on the concrete walls of the park center piece were done by Emanuel from San Antonio in 1974. Please take the short walk to the mural and pause to honor and remember the brave people depicted in this lovely art. The site of this park was one time many years ago the site of housing for hundreds of workmen and women who came from Mexico to harvest the cotton and other crops grown in this area.

Park in the small parking lot provided for the viewing of the AZTLAN mural. Use the very old footbridge bridge to cross the water. If it has recently rained it will probably not be passable since the bridge has collapsed, leaving just concrete chunks to tip toe across ! Scramble through tall Spanish broom bushes along side the concrete retaining wall. Plastic container with parachute cord attaching it to lower limb of small tree (NOT in the cactus). Be careful ! Do NOT get on the roadway - Not Necessary.
