Eventually took the road at Laurel Ridge off the access road and there it was!

It's actually mostly paved or DG so would be doable even with a stroller. We walked from the red playground to the sky bridge and back which was 2 miles.

Not a bad park but most of the walking is on wide paved sidewalk that runs around the outside of the park. It's mainly set up to bring your kids . There are plenty of playground options, a baseball diamond, and soccer goal for kids to practice kicking into and stuff like that. Not a bad park. I'll have to come back when I have more time and hit the trails and do another review.

The playground at this park is amazing! I recently visited Classen Steubing Ranch Park for a…read morebirthday party on a Saturday morning and was surprised by the amount of people at the park. When visiting please keep in mind that they are not only a hiking trail, but they have multiple soccer fields, and a pirate-theme playground at Mitchell's Landing. The playground is truly a masterpiece which was created for kids of all ages. Frankly my kid was having the time of his life running from one side to another not knowing where to even start, which I guess was a good problem to have. The reason why I am not giving them 5 stars is because parking is a nightmare. There are not enough parking spots to fit the crowds that come here. Between the soccer classes, birthday parties and the morning walkers, parking is super hard to get and you might have to be driving around a couple times until you get one. If it wasn't because of the birthday I was going, I would've turned around and go back home. Regardless, this is an amazing park and highly recommend for anyone with kids as little as 2 - 12.

After searching for things I could do safely outside during this darn Corona time, I discovered…read morethis park. Did you know there are 84, yes! 84 parks inside San Antonio which have nature trails for people to enjoy? Neither did I. But, I've been trying to discover something healthy to do since my Pho quest of 2018-2019, (I'm still researching that too. ) I love hiking, I throughly enjoy being in nature. (Even if cedar is out to kill me! ) So, my new quest is to go hiking 3-5 miles each weekend at a new park. So, back to Mud Creek Park. Let me tell you, this place is truly a hidden gem. It is off Jones Maltsburger, not to far from the Thousand Oaks intersection. But, if you're not paying attention, you will miss this hidden gem. The entrance is a simple driveway with a white sign with red font that simply reads Mud Creek Park. In the 90 minutes I trekked around, getting intentionally lost, I walked slowly, taking photos with my DSLR & my phone. I attached those images. I saw deer, one poor little Indian blanket bloom hanging on, 6 couples, one other single person, & a family with two large dogs. It was quiet, perfect weather, and the nature was everything I needed. Oh, be aware, while walking a couple with their Husky in lead, told me they had seen coyote. So, as we are supposed to do, keep your pet on lead. Keep them safe too. (Also bring water for them.) I highly recommend getting out & staying safe while social distancing. Be sure to take water & maybe a snack with you. Make it fruit & nuts so you don't leave trash behind. There are a few beaches to rest on if you stay along the trail. But it's more fun to wander. You'll get back to the trail easily if you wander off. Get out & discover San Antonio away from the hurrying in our lives right now. Stay safe!

This is a dormant time of the year. Nothing flowering, did not see any deer, no insects. Hell, there weren't any birds, either. There was a lot cactus. The trail is a loop. Less than 2 miles. The husband was taking pictures and we were done in less than an hour because as I said, nothing much is happening. We'll go back in two or three months when hopefully things are hopping.
