Absolutely fell in love with this place the first time I came here! I came for a yoga class here…read moreand also for a stroll today with my family! I learned that it is a non profit that built the structure itself. It sits alongside a river flow and there's steps to go down and a paved trail where there is plenty of foot and bike traffic. I love this place, it has a very serene and peaceful vibe/ambiance. Highly recommend visiting! Parking is limited within the main entrance however, there is street parking available along the main road it's on.

They have alot of activities you can do here like the playground, basketball court, tennis court, swings, a nice trail around the lake and many ducks around. They were really cute and thankfully they never messed with us. The park has plenty of parking and everyone I spoke with were really friendly. I even liked how the park have plenty of seats and benches you can sit and relax on. Overall this was a fun day trip and plan to come back here in the near future.

Great park! Woodlawn had been around for a long time and it's maintained its charm to this day…read more Still a lovely park to have a good stroll or just take a day and relax. Only thing I will mention is there tends to be quite a bit of litter around the area. It would be nice to see more upkeep! Despite that it's not to crazy of an issue currently but I can foresee it happening more frequently. All in all a lovely stop on a cool day.

It features hundreds of trees and a scenic stream winding through the grounds, along with plenty of wildlife like ducks, geese, and vultures near the Joske Pavilion. There is tons of open space to lay out a blanket for a picnic, plus walking/running trails, baseball fields, a couple of playgrounds, plenty of tables and benches, and great paths for biking. It's wonderfully quiet in the mornings, making it the perfect in-town getaway.

Maybe I'm daft, but I couldn't figure out the trails. Every trail I started, ended after a few hundred feet. After a short time of starting and stopping and finding the maps vandalized so I couldn't figure out where on the map we were, we gave up and walked down the street to Mila for coffee. I love that they have maps set up throughout, but every single one I stopped at had the "you are here" section scratched out. Not being from San Antonio, I couldn't orient myself. So that was a little problem. Otherwise, the area a lot of picnic areas set up for grilling and eating with plenty of space for play. You just might have to Hansel and Gretel your way out though.

There are so many activities at South Side Lions Park, but our favorite aspect is the trailhead…read moreaccess at South Side Lions Park East. Follow the road around the pond and you'll find maps and a shelter, plus the trailhead to go north/upstream along the South Salado Creek Greenway Trail, part of the Howard W. Peak Greenway Trail System, towards Comanche Park and Covington Park. If you walk along the pond downstream, over the footbridge, you'll find a trail marker, a crosswalk, and a turnoff to a newer trail section of South Salado Creek. If you see a set of switchbacks, you know you're on the right path. This trail goes about 3 miles to a trailhead on Southeast Military Dr.

The trail runs into multiple little parks that have a playground and benches and whatnot and it parallels this cute little stream. Most of the trail is shaded by trees which made it nice to run in the heat. I didn't take any pictures unfortunately, but just believe that this is yet another great outdoor space offered by San Antonio!

Sometimes you just need to get away and this park is just about perfect for that. I rode out here…read moreon my Tri Glide and found a nice picnic table under the pecan trees right near the creek. With the recent rains the creek was flowing and children were playing in the water. There is playground equipment for kids, there's a soccer field and the thing I was looking for the most, solitude. I would definitely bring my grandchildren here to burn off some energy. Now there was some trash on the ground but I don't fault the park for that. Some people are just pigs, there are trash cans right next to the picnic tables. You really can't miss them, but some people still do. There are also bbq grills next to the tables. The picnic tables are also spread out so you can have a little privacy while you enjoy the beauty of this park. Here's a little tip, your mother doesn't work here, clean your own trash up.

It starts with a decent steep hike up to Cross hill, here you can see views all of Castroville and beyond. Coming down, we hiked along native cacti and plants, walked along a dry river bed, and took pics along a pond containing birds and wildlife. End of the trail dropped us in the well maintained green park. Clean bathrooms and community center were nearby. Nice local peaceful hike and you can picnic along the way as benches are scattered throughout.

It's large and enclosed and I love how the big kid area at the top is only accessible by ladders or hanging rings so some toddlers can't accidentally wander up. There are slides of all sizes and a part that is wheelchair accessible. I do wish the splash pad had an on/off switch. It was in the 40s this morning and so many parents were chasing their kids to keep out of the water. Also, while the ground at the playground is soft, it is not level- there are dips and random potholes. I almost twisted an ankle- twice and kids kept tripping and falling. Other than this, it's a great place! There is ample parking, ball courts in the back, clean restrooms and a water fountain with a bottle filler on it (yes!).

I am so happy to have found a new park in the southtown/downtown area!…read more Hemisfair park is usually my go-to place to take my kiddo in the mornings, but that park can get super chaotic during spring break or other holidays, which is not very ideal. A friend recommended Labor Park and mentioned it was only a couple blocks away from Hemisfair. The park itself is very nice and you can tell the city has taken good care of it. I really like that they have a covered playground which is a major plus during hot summer days (playgrounds can get HOT y'all). They also have a nice baseball field for the little ones, a basketball court, and some gym equipment which kids love to play with. On our time there, we saw a couple other families playing around and enjoying the nice weather. Overall it is a nice neighborhood park!

Southtown outdoors gym! The Labor Street Park has been…read morerenovated and reopened! It's been transformed into an outdoor exercise area! It used to be an empty, decrepit lot in Southtown, but now has trees, a backstop and baseball diamond, outdoor gym equipment, and trees to hang out under. This park used to be a crumbling area, but a local kickball team took up as their cause to clean it up, patch the potholes, and get the park up and running. It used to be owned with the San Antonio Housing Authority, but it was only recently granted to the city. The local kickball team got sponsored by the city, and Coca-Cola, who funded the renovation of the park, and sponsors ongoing exercise classes with the San Antonio Parks and Recreation Department, so check their website for schedules. I heard that they're hiring lots of veterans to teach exercise boot camps to civilians at no cost. They've got lots of gym equipment out here to enjoy, so you can get your pump on for free. The picnic area is a nice place to get a post-workout snack. Parking is easy- all on the streets, but the area isn't controlled by downtown events parking, so you can generally always find a spot in here for downtown parking, but it's a bit of a hike. Overall, it's a pretty good park that's been redone, giving other options for parks in the southtown area! I'd recommend checking it out. It's a wonderful example of how a local grassroots movement took charge to do something positive for San Antonio!
