About this Location

Park Overview

Running along Cibolo Creek, River Road Park is one of the most popular parks in Boerne. Enjoy a leisurely walk along the paved Cibolo Trail spanning the length of the park or drop a hook in the water (license required) and see what you catch.

History of River Road Park

One of the unique features of River Road Park is the dam located at the east end of the park. The dam was deeded to the City of Boerne in July 1912. It was originally known as the old Dietert Mill Dam and was part of the old Dietert homestead, which was on the south bank of the Cibolo Creek.

Originally called Riverside Park, the park underwent a facelift in 2013 when new picnic tables, sidewalks, irrigation, sod, trees, and fishing piers were installed.
