Beautiful park & riverwalk, with multiple bridges! Be sure to bring some bread, to feed the ducks, as there are several of them, hanging down by the water

Amazing history and free! I was talking with my children about horse and buggies crossing. Then we were talking about wagons and stagecoaches. After crossing, we saw the trail drive statues memorializing whole herds crossing and we were all amazed. We then looked up the Chisom Trail, learned from plaques on the site, and learned a lot more of history.While crossing the bridge, we saw lots of sucks and turtles in the water. Take old bread to feed the ducks in the grass beside the bridge.

Interesting. The park around the bridge is really nice, for a walk or even a run if you want to train.

Great park area for a walk or run. Great to grab a bit to eat and have it in the park. There were a few good trucks close by to get something.

This bridge is cool, loved the history. I took my girlfriend here but we broke up the next day. I doubt the bridge was at fault though, I hope its history of allowing cattle to pass through the area didnt impact that.

This bridge was beautiful and the park around it as well! Unfortunately, there were many homeless people around so a heightened sense of awareness is a really good idea.

Great place to visit in Waco. The history behind the bridge is phenomenal and intriguing. A very nice place to go on a walk, check out the scenery and watch the ducks as well as people on boat rides. Excellent tourist attraction located on the Brazos river.

Beautiful park in downtown Waco, TX. It is filled with history of cattle and cattleman moving across the Brazos River. Love the huge larger than life sculptures.Lots of birds, turtles and fish to see in the river.Beautiful flowers and plants as well. Walking across the suspension bridge is a wonderful experience in itself.

If youre in Waco, stop by! These are the best bronze statues weve seen in Texas. The ones in Houston and Austin are far less impactful. The bridge is beautiful, despite the bad weather we had. I didnt know quite how suspension bridges worked but its all very visible here. A neat piece of engineering with some great history behind it. Nice walking trails nearby and plenty of street parking right by the bridge. Easily wheel chair accessible to view the bronze sculptures and see the bridge.

Its a beautiful place. But it could use some TLC. Some upgrades and better advertising to the location. With the Texas heat some vendors would be great especially for tourists.

We spent a day in Waco. We had lunch across the street and decided to take a look at this suspension bridge. I had no idea that it was the part of the Chisolm Trail. This is a beautiful bridge with amazing statues.

The waco suspension Bridge is a great place to walk or jog . There is a thing I like to mention to make this place even better . Waco please remove the transients from the public rest rooms . They sit right in front where men and women go into and out of the restrooms and stare you down as you come in and out . They are not shy of confronting you . Would I go there again ? No .

Beautiful place to take pictures. Clean areas to sit and have lunch. Neat statues and bits of history. We just happened to pass by and thought it was pretty so we stopped. Glad we did. If you are in Waco you should stop by and see for yourself.

One of the oldest suspension bridges in the state. Amazing that 150 years ago they had the technology to build a single span suspension bridge in Texas that has been able to stand the test of time. The bridge is now for walking across only, and when walking on it you can see why. This bridge is an amazing piece of history, but also not safe for small children if not continually supervised. Plenty of places to get hurt or fall off the side of the bridge if you have a toddler that is crazy like mine! Just off the bridge there are several huge statues of longhorns on a cattle drive that are truly amazing. This area was part of the Chisholm trail and many markers explain more about it. All in all a great Texas stop!

I love to walk my dogs around the bridge. It is so peaceful. I enjoy seeing all the tourist. There is alot of history around the bridge. Back in the old days it was the only place to get your cattle across the Brazos river for many miles. If your visiting Waco you should stop by. Plenty of free parking in the area.

Nice place to visit on a day trip. There’s statues by the entrance of the park. View from the bridge overlooking the river was nice. A path that leads down to the water but didn’t go there. Just a nice stroll and possibly might be a great view at night.Stay away from the public restrooms as it’s not clean at all and plenty of arachnids. Or you might find a naked person taking a bird bath in one of them.Overall the experience was nice as we are out of towners.

Love suspension bridges,they are beautiful.You are able to cross this wooden planked bridge on foot, see the other newer bridges while crossing,the Brazos River. Plus at the Waco park you also get to see lifesize gorgeous metal longhorn cattle with cowboys driving on part of the Chisum Trail.

The Waco Suspension Bridge is surely worth a stop. It has plenty of great views and an interesting history. This was among the first viable crossing over the Brazos River. In the adjacent Indian Springs Park, there are actual fresh water springs.

History lives here on the old Chisholm trail. Learn how thousands of cattle once crossed this bridge on the way to Abilene, Kansas. Roebling helped build this bridge before building the Brooklyn Bridge. Nice statues commemorating this landmark.

Loved the park and sculptures preserving Waco heritage. Bridge was an awesome preservation....was Bethlehem Steel used for the cable/wire rope. We are from PA and many bridges used their steel.. including the Golden Gate bridge.
