For people without young spawn, Nani Falcone doesn't look like much from the street, beyond just an exceptionally well-maintained family park. Nothing at all wrong with that, it's just not my demographic at all. There IS a pretty killer looking skateboard park on the corner - awesome but, again, not what I specifically am looking for in an outdoor entertainment venue. And a newly "opened" off-leash dog park (and those ARE a primary draw for me) - every time I've saddled up AdventureHound and headed over to check out the DP, though, it's been either not yet permanently open; or big-picture open but temporarily closed for whatever reason; or open but 100% deserted of pups...boooooo! We recently, however, seized the opportunity to explore what lies beyond the play structure, just down a short path and behind a stand of trees, and... it. is. glorious. SO well-maintained and kept! Open and visible enough that I don't feel vulnerable or unsafe walking as a solo lady. (SO superimportant and impactful these days!) There's a beautifully paved, pretty much flat, 1-mile sidewalky loop that encircles a .... GASP... beautiful disc golf course! YAY! (The course - 9 holes, iirc - is almost completely open, with no obstruction/trees/etc between the pad and the basket... *perfect* for noobs, or when you're just looking to hone your skills, or just have fun and chuck some discs while drinking some beers with no concern for Double Black Diamond course status) Parking is pretty limited. The tiny little lot closest to the play structure only has one joint entrance/exit that makes it a pain to get out again if you pull in a realize there are no available spots. Maybe parking at the library across the street is allowable?? Worth checking on... Sweet gem of a neighborhood park! We'll be back, often. (hmm...like right now? it's a beautiful day....) read more

Nice trail. Love how you see people walking /running every now and then so you're not so much alone

We checked out this park recently and it has a big kid structure, toddler-friendly play area, trails, disc golf, dog park, and even a library across the street! Yes, there's some construction happening right now, but we still had a blast. The big shaded picnic area was a win, and this park has serious potential as they keep working on it. read more

Love this spot! It's always clean a great for walks! Love taking my Pups here everyone is respectful and keeps their dogs leashed.

Bucky's first dog park experience was at Nani Falcone Park. I really appreciated the two separate enclosures for small and big dogs. I had Bucky in the big enclosure for a while and he seemed a little overwhelmed, but we moved to the smaller enclosure. Bucky had more fun there with dogs more his size. Unlike the big enclosure, the small one didn't have a fountain for the dogs to drink from, nor did they have any little obstacle course pieces to enhance their fun. Regardless we had a grand time and plan to come back! read more

My family loves this park. We've been coming here since my oldest started to walk (12 Y/O now). I love that there's separate play structures for different age ranges & clearly labeled. This park is always clean (even the port-o-potties surprisingly) and there's never a shortage of kiddos having fun. The benches under the shaded pavilion is perfect for a little picnic on these scorching hot Texas days. Don't forget your water!! There are little water fountains, but the water is usually hot. The walking trail is perfect and a little less than a mile around the loop. There's even a dog park next to it and an entire frisbee golf course. This has become wildly popular especially since the pandemic. Just watch out when you're on the parts that are in the woods because there's chiggers--yikes! I did 4 stars because I wish the smaller play structured area was more crawling infant friendly. It would be great to see an upgrade to the mulch - a soft padded flooring! Maybe a swing set including infant swings. read more

Disc golf review. Challenging course that overall is a lot of fun. Good shade and plenty of difficult holes. Number 10 is hard to figure out on first visit but take you around the woods and the next few holes take you into the woods. I got lost after #15 and couldn't find the tee for 16 so I played 20 and 21. When it gets cooler, this is an ideal course! read more

Nani Falcone Park - Practice area before the first tee box. - Parks Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

This has become our go to park when the kids want to play for a long period of time and everyone wants to have their own space. Located directly across the street from the Maverick library, this ends up being a good way to spend a couple hours in the area. Not to mention that pump it up is around the corner and there's an H-E-B to grab some items for a picnic. Love how close this park is to us! read more

This review is for the dog park. There's not a lot of grass left in the dog park and it really makes for a muddy mess. I wouldn't mind it so much if there was some sort of hose/wash station to wash the mud off your dog's paws post romp at that park but there isn't. Plus, it seems a lot of people don't pick up after their dogs at this park which is quite unfortunate. Be sure to watch your step because again, if you step on a landmine there is no way to wash it off your shoes. It's not at the fault of the dog park though, they have poop bags readily available and trash bins at the entrance of the dog park, it's just irresponsible and careless dog owners. Some people ruin it for everybody. *sigh* The park has an agility tunnel, small hoop jumps and small set of weave polls. It also has a separate park for small dogs. Other than that, it's a pretty simple park with quite a bit of open space but it could definitely use some upgrades and perhaps some good mulching. Unfortunately, dog parks in San Antonio are far and few between so you can't be too choosy. read more

Not the most appealing to the eyes and too many damn mosquitos, but my boys loved it and enjoyed their time there!

I love this little park. There's a skate boarding park, dog park, walking/jogging trail, playground, small softball field, and disc golf course. The dog park has two separate areas for large dogs and small dogs, and has grass with a few trees and a bench. It's not huge, but it's plenty of room to let your dog stretch their legs out. I also really like that it's grass and not mulch. I feel like the mulch tears up the dogs pads quickly. The trail is paved, so very accessible with strollers. There's a nice little wooded area, I have seen a few deer, rabbits, and some other little critters, although I never feel the "outside of city" vibe. There is a covered area also with picnic tables. There is also ample parking, port-a- potties, and water drinking fountains. All in all a really nice, clean neighborhood park! read more

About 3 weeks ago, my dog and I got attacked by another dog - (an Akita). My 2 golden retrievers are not whatsoever aggressive in anyway. I got bitten by the dog and didn't even realize it because I was pulling my dog off of the other dog. Two people a black man and an older white lady pulled off the other dog. The owners never came forward not even a "hey are you okay or I'm so sorry". I was in complete shock and full with adrenaline that I didn't even bother to look for them because I was busy checking to see if my dog was okay. I unfortunately was not. I got 3 puncture wounds & was bleeding nonstop. I got my dogs and went home & straight to urgent care and got 3 stitches. We have been going there for a while and never had a problem. Some people did ask if I was okay and if I needed assistance and was very grateful for them. The park itself is a nice concept. If a dog fight occurs please make sure everyone is okay, all I wanted to know is if the dog was up to date with his vaccines. read more

Not a bunch of grass but there is too separate gates next to each other. One is smaller than the other. They have a big covered seating patio thing in the middle. Every weekend if , it's not raining, they have some regulars that meet up early mornings(very nice people) parking can get a little scarce read more

I love the open area but it's open like that since it's a disc golf course. Okay, lemme just say this: I don't know what happened from the spark of the frisbee tossing days of my youth (which on another note, didn't really add up to 'days' but more like 'minutes' since I don't have a long attention span) to the 'disc golf' it is now known as. I just knew it simply as 'frisbee'. Simple rules too: try not to maim anyone or anything in doing so. But now 'frisbee' has stepped up a few notches and turned into 'disc golf'. Well hot damn. Alright, alright. I'm done with my tirade. Seriously though, due to the fact that Texas (and the local S.A. area) has now become home to the West Nile virus, I was looking for a place that didn't have a whole lot of tree & bush coverage and this was perfect for me. Pretty dry too. That isn't to say that I didn't come outdoors without the proper precautions either but this park served its purpose. The pdf file on the sanantonio.gov website reflected the actual trail was a mile long and according to my workout app, it was correct. Good location and good place. Oh, but also be warned - this park does allow dogs and even though there are bags available near the main entrance of the park, I did notice a foul stench or two while working out. I suppose some owners just figured no one would notice. Just a little FYI for ya. ;) read more

Great disc golf, please put a map of the disc golf course though it's kind of confusing!

Nani Falcone Park is a super nice, new park located by the HEB off of Bandera and Gilbeau. I gravitate toward it because of their stellar, 9-hole disc golf course, but the word on the street is that their playground and pavilions are pretty neat too. First of all: the disc golf course. It isn't huge; however, it is really well-maintained. I have played on lots of courses that leave where you are supposed to throw the Frisbee up to interpretation. Sometimes, where you are supposed to stand and where you are heading is really more of a suggestion that a clear cut course. But Nani doesn't disappoint. The standing pads are concrete and you can always see the final destination. They even have quite a few signs by the concrete pad that let you know how many throws it should take. A few of these have been removed or stolen (who would still a disc golf sign? C'mon people!), but the course is pretty well marked. Second: the playground. Considering Nani is a pretty new park, the playground has some cool features. For example, there is this little wheel suspended from a bar that the kiddos can just dangle and twirl on. I am tempted to give it a try, but it was occupied by a 5-year old last time I was there. Thwarted again! Overall, Nani is probably my favorite park as of late. There is also a walking trail around the disc golf course and two pavilions. My favorite feature is the well-maintained course and the alluring playground. If you have a Frisbee or are a 5-year old at heart --both apply to me-- don't miss it. read more

Great dog park! I love bringing both of my dogs here. This park has a small and big dog area sectioned off. The big dog park is well over an acre, so it's nice and big. The small dog park is a good size, too! They have waste bags to keep the park very clean. There is also dog water bowls and an agility course on the big dog side. read more

Very clean course, but without any obstacles. I'm not a frequent disc golfer, but my bf is a little too good....he said the 'holes' are too close from the 'tee off' area. I even managed to make par. Regardless, made for a lovely Sunday afternoon. read more

Great to find a DOG PARK, finally. The small dog side seems a wee bit lacking. But it's a Dog PARK !!! I'm so happy to find a place where my dog can run to his hearts content. Finally, we can tire him out to the point where he will be more mellow at home read more

My search for the best park on the NW side of town has today led me to the Nani Falcone Park. This one has definitely made it to the top of my list. My main purpose in coming here today was to walk my dog, and there was a walking/jogging path that was just a little over a mile long, which was the absolute perfect distance for us! There were several other people walking their dogs or just walking/jogging the trail. As far as the scenery goes, it was fairly open because of the disc golf course in the middle, but on the other side of that it still had some trees that it went though, which was nice. I am actually wanting to come back with my husband to play a round of disc golf here! I'm no pro by any means, and this course looked my speed (hardly any trees and no water around for the frisbee to get lost in). When we first came in, there was a nice playground up at the front with lots of families there playing at it (it looked as though it may have been a church play group or something). I always like to rate parks in terms of how safe I felt there (being a female going by myself), and I definitely felt safe here with how wide open everything was and how many other people were around for it being a weekday morning. There was some graffiti on some of the park benches, which makes me a bit sad, but other than that it was great! Also, my GPS on my phone couldn't quite figure out where the park was for some reason and brought me into a neighborhood (which can get you into the park, but it is not the main entrance and has no real parking since it is just the dead end of a street in the neighborhood and spits you out on the other side of the disc golf course). But the main entrance to the park is off of Mystic Park (right across from the Maverick Library), which you can get to from Bandera or Guilbeau Rd. read more

The parking lot overflows onto the street. However, the park along with the disc golf course is better for the neighborhood than the overgrown field that once was. It isn't good for the displaced deer, rabbits and snakes that used to live there though. The deer have been getting run over by cars and the rabbits were eaten by my cat. I suspect this is becoming rarer once they are eradicated by these means. That's urban development for ya... read more

Nani's Disc Golf course is a good place for beginners. It's pretty open, for the most part, so losing discs is not a major concern. The only reason I give it the 3 star rating is the lack of challenge it has. Most holes are wide open, some long, some so short it's silly. Mostly the park is well maintained, but I've played through some thigh-high grass once or twice. If you are close to this area of town, it might be worth a look-see. But I wouldn't travel, and I mean travel-travel to play. read more

Great place for a run or walk with the dogs. Very family friendly, love the dog park!

Great park! Has a Frisbee golf course, long walking trail, great open area for kite flying, baseball field, skate park, and a beautiful children's play area. They just added more seating areas, they are finishing the extra parking ...usually people park on the street. Great location across from a public library. The only thing is the outdoor bathrooms but, we usually walk to the library. ;) read more
