Japanese Tea Garden in Brackenridge Park - repurposed quarry garden

The Japanese Tea Garden occupies a former limestone quarry within Brackenridge Park and was converted into a landscaped public garden in the early 20th century. The site is known for its stonework, winding paths, a pond with koi, and a decorative waterfall, making it a distinctive creative landscape feature in the city. The garden has long been a photographed and visited landmark reflecting adaptive reuse of an industrial site.
