Scorching hot temperatures scared everyone away because none of the kids would want to play on the playground there, though I did see one family just sitting there, possibly resting during a long road trip. Otherwise, it was literally a ghost town minus the tumbleweeds. I stopped by this park to just get away from city life. Well actually, I wanted to visit the nearby Nekter Juice Bar because they a Father's Day promo going on that would only work for that day and that day only. I had already visited the other Nekter location in the Greater San Antonio area, but wanted to pay a visit to this location aloof from the urban life. Bullis County Park and Nekter are just across from one another, opposite Borgfield Dr. After leaving Nekter with smoothie in hand, I drove up Old Blanco and parked in the parking lot right in front of the playground. As I mentioned, nobody was playing in the playground. I did see a pavilion, which allowed me to rest in the shade and take more photos of the park while sipping on my smoothie. The park wasn't the greatest, I can say. Let's just say the grass is greener on the other side lol. I was, however, fascinated by some rock and log formation near the pavilion. There are a handful of picnic tables in the pavilion that you could throw a party at. However, you'll need to reserve the space beforehand; call in advance to do so! On the south side of the park, there is a softball field, which surprise surprise, nobody was there during my visit. However, I was fascinated by the number of dandelions I saw in the outfield. Nice to see, but I'm sure outfielders will be trampling over them while trying to catch a fly ball. To the west, there is nothing but trees. The grounds immediately around the pavilion have seen better days. Grass isn't very abundant here. It almost looked like the cows have eaten most of the grass here! Not that I'm comparing this park to Brackenridge Park, which I had visited the weekend before, but it was kind of a boring visit overall to Bullis County Park. Then again, if school were in session, I'm sure it would have been loads better with kids enjoying the playground and possibly frolicking through the flowers. I say this because it's real close to Timberwood Park Elementary School, and it would make for a nice place to unwind and relax after school, if the weather were nicer, that is. 3 stars for now. I still recommend stopping by if you want to stretch your legs, but don't expect anything memorable here. The only thing memorable about my visit to this park was sipping on my cold smoothie, which allowed me to stay at the park for a while without burning in the hot sun.

This park is about an acre, built on a grassy slope along the shores of the river. There are plenty of huge trees to hang out under, picnic tables and BBQ pits. Families come out on the weekends and grill it up while hanging out by the river here. My favorite thing to do at this park is hang out under the bridge, like a troll. There's a bridge that goes right over the river by this park, which makes for a good vantage point to sit in the shade while staying in the middle of the river. A lot of people tie off their inner tubes on a bridge pylon or a rock to stay stationary while the river flows by. There's only a few good entry points to the river, which get crowded. A lot of the banks are steep and hard to navigate. There are no restrooms here. Rudy's BBQ is right down the way, which would make for a good place to bring food! This park is one of the least crowded river parks in New Braunfels.

It'd be nice if they put a playground or a swingset, or a restroom out here. Nothing like that here. Just nature. I've seen deer running through this park, and it is always picked up. That's probably because nobody uses it. I've never seen anyone but deer here. There's plenty of parking along Clydesdale Run here. It's a great place to get out and get some sun. There are giant oak trees all over this park, so it's not really optimal for a game of soccer or football. But I'm sure you can come up with some tree friendly activities to do here.
