Take a dip at Woodlawn Lake Park Public Pool 221 Alexander Ave., 210-609-9511, sanantonio.gov Woodlawn Lake Park’s public pool is a crown jewel of the neighborhood, and well worth visiting even if you don’t live in the surrounding area. You can also enjoy a scenic walk view of the lighthouse in the middle of the lake or enjoy the antics of the geese, ducks, and random chicken. This pool opens with San Antonio’s Summer Pool Season, which opens Saturday, June 15. Credit: Twitter / @SAParksandRec
