About.

Picture
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.

The bronze sculpture of the mermaid that currently resides at Sirena Park was the creation of local artist, Troy Kelley, in 1986. The inspiration for his creation of Sirena came from his grandmother who told him of the Native American legend as a young child.

Sirena's Creekside Carnaval, hosted by Legacy Salado Inc, a local 501(c)(3) non-profit, honors the beloved tale of Indian maiden, Sirena, by bringing together the community for two days of fun with the purpose of investing back into the community and providing a space that children of all abilities can enjoy.
