EXPLORE THE GREENER SIDE OF LIFE!

The City of San Antonio, Parks and Recreation Department’s Howard W. Peak Greenway Trails offer perfect places to hike, bike, stroll, meet, talk, sit, look, picnic, play, exercise, relax, bird watch, people watch, read, fly a kite, dog walk and soak up the sun. With clean air to breathe, nature scenes to observe and miles upon miles to explore, the greenway trails are connecting San Antonio in a whole new way.

The greenways are an ever-growing network of trails, parks, creekways and natural areas that will hope-fully one day link the entire city. These trails provide limitless opportunities to connect with nature, be active and promote a healthy environment. In several locations, the trails connect to other trail networks and destinations.

Funded by the Linear Park Development Program for Salado Creek, Leon Creek, the Medina River, the San Antonio River and their tributaries, the greenways currently offer approximately 41 miles of trails on over 1200 acres throughout the city. As ongoing work is completed, expect to see many more miles to explore in the near future.

The City of San Antonio is currently planning for the expansion of the Leon Creek Greenway System to include new trails along tributaries including Huesta Creek, Culebra Creek and Huebner Creek.

Trailheads include wayfinding maps and other information and are located throughout all Greenway systems. For the latest greenway news and trail maps, visit www.sanantonio.gov/creekways.

Central City Trails

The Westside Creeks, located just west of downtown San Antonio within Loop 410, will soon be home to several miles of creekside hike and bike trails. Trails planned for the Apache, Alazan and Martinez Creeks, along with Apache/San Pedro Creek South will provide new outdoor recreation opportunities within walking distance of thousands of homes on San Antonio’s Westside. The trails will also provide connections to area parks, businesses and schools.

Several miles of existing and planned trails are located within Central and Downtown San Antonio. San Antonio River trails include the Downtown River Walk, the Historic Mission Reach and River North, which currently connects to the San Antonio Museum of Art, the newly redeveloped Pearl Brewery and several restaurants and entertainment venues. The Park Reach of the San Antonio River trails will eventually connect downtown to Brackenridge Park, offering a wide variety of recreational opportunities, including the San Antonio Zoo, the Witte Museum and the Brackenridge Golf Course.

A greenway trail is also planned along Olmos Creek in north central San Antonio that will provide additional hiking and biking opportunities to area residents and visitors.

SALADO CREEK GREENWAY SYSTEM

MEDINA RIVERGREENWAY SYTEM

The Salado Creek Greenway includes several beautiful paved trail segments and natural surface trails stretching through north and east San Antonio. Plans are currently in the works to add several additional miles to the Salado Creek Greenway System, providing connections to Walker Ranch Historic Landmark Park and Leon Creek Greenway to the northwest.

The McAllister Park to Rittiman Road trail segment includes 6.8 miles of trail that feature a unique boardwalk running over half a mile along a wetland area near Nacogdoches Road.

The 2-mile trail segment located between Huebner and Blanco Road provides access to Phil Hardberger Park and offers wildflower fields and unique views of creekside cliffs. This is a relatively easy scenic trail well suited for the entire family.

On San Antonio’s southeast side, the 8-mile trail segment from Jack White Park at I-35 to South Side Lion’s Park offers stunning views of Salado Creek, surrounded by towering bottomland hardwood trees and natural, flowing springs.

This seven-mile trail stretches east from the Medina River Natural Area, located on State Highway 16, south of Lone Star Pass on the City’s Southside. The Medina River Greenway is a refreshing escape for those seeking the serenity of the great outdoors within a short drive of home. With large Cypress, Oak and Pecan trees along the flowing Medina River, traveling the trail is a peaceful adventure. The terrain is mostly easy, but includes switchbacks with slopes up to 8.3 percent in two locations.

Future plans include extending the trail eastward, connecting to Jim Mattox Park by the Mission Del Lago Golf Course and to the San Antonio River trails at Mission Espada.

The Leon Creek Greenway currently offers 17 miles of paved, multi-use trails and will soon be expanded to tributaries including Huesta Creek, Culebra Creek and Huebner Creek. The longest connected trail segment to date winds approximately 13.5 miles from Loop 1604 to Ingram Road. A 1.5 mile trail at Pearsall Parkon Old Pearsall Road is part of the Leon Creek Greenway System and a 2.6 mile loop trail off Old Highway 90 at Levi Strauss Park and Rodriguez County Park was recently added.

Leon Creek trail users have the opportunity to experience views of limestone bluffs, wildflower fields, stands of beautiful Cottonwoods and other heritage trees and often see wildlife on quiet mornings and evenings. The paved trails are mostly easy, with steeper slopes at the O.P. Schnabel Park and Leon Vista connection trails.

The trails also feature connections to several adjacent parks, University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA) Wolff Stadium and numerous adjacent neighborhoods and businesses. A trailhead at VIA’s Ingram Road Transit Center is located at 3215 Northwestern Drive and provides direct bus access for trail users.
