Who is Sirena?

The Tonkawa Legend of Sirena is a story that is near and dear to the residents of Salado. According to the legend, Sirena was tricked into becoming a mermaid by a magical catfish in return for helping her win the heart of a warrior.

Local artisit, Troy Kelley designed the bronze sculpture of the Tonkawa mermaid that currently resides at Sirena Park.
