If I had gone on a day when the temperature was in the double digits in Fahrenheit, I might have…read moregiven this park at least 4 stars, but when I visited on Father's Day, there wasn't really much to do. 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.

Wow, I had been to this park many times back in the day, but I had NO idea they had hiking trails,…read morecaves to explore, and even a disc golf course. The caves - not really caves, they're more like crevices to explore. They aren't more than 15 feet deep and the sun lights them up fairly well, so don't be 'escared (yes, I said 'escared). Getting to them can be tough if there is water in the normally dry creek bed. You'll have to traverse a VERY steep uphill trail to get to them. The cool thing about the trails here, is that you get a little bit of everything. Some paved trails, some smooth dirt trails with lots of berms and hills that are great fun for mountain bikers (but won't tear your expensive rig up). Look for these hills near hole 9 on the disc golf course (it's hidden in the woods). Take Side Trail A (creative name, right?) to get a good view of the creek when there's water in it, and take the Blue Angel Loop if you want to walk or ride on loose river rock. Signage isn't too bad, but I do recommend printing a map before you go. https://www.universalcitytexas.com/DocumentCenter/View/2544/UniversalCity_TrailMap_11x17?bidId= The strangest thing is, this park measures the trails in feet instead of miles - what, what??? I've never seen trails measured in feet. If you hit all of the trails, you can get 6 to 7 miles in. You can park at Red Horse Park, Veterans Park, or at UC Municipal Park - they're all connected to the trails. I'm amazed at the diversity of the trail system in this park. And oh yeah, they have a covered basketball pavilion, baseball diamonds, LOTS of space to run around in and even fly kites. No power lines around, so your kite won't get hung up on a line.

There is a Porta potty near the entrance to the trails, but when I looked inside, it had a pile of clothes and looked like someone was living in there or at least sleeping in there at night. I walked the entire loop and it was about one and a quarter miles. Took a little less than 30 minutes to walk the loop. So it's a good lunchtime break to clear the head before going back to work. The trail has very little elevation change just minor up and downs, but the entire trail is paved. It's basically a 5 foot wide sidewalk loop so very easily accessible for anyone who wants to get out and do some hiking or just get back to nature. I didn't see any animals but saw three different birds, a cardinal, a mockingbird and a black Phoebe. Overall, not a bad space to have lunch and walk a little before heading back to work. I would come here again.
