    The barn.
    Aaron S.

    Awesome barn and park! Came here for the Easter spring thing. The barn served us a great pancake breakfast for $5! The park has new playground equipment. The city had a bunch of cool crafts and slides and other stuff. It was a fun time and free!

    What are these? Anyone?

    Oh wow, I am a huge fan of this park. It reminds me of the old San Marcos when it was still country. This is tucked back away in the nurseries of SM. When you get there its quiet and peaceful on the weekdays and has events on the weekends. There is a huge equestrian, fields and a walking trail with lots of shade! I have a cool story to go along with the barn you will see they rent out for events. Well when I looked inside I told my friend I feel like I have BEEN in there before. well later on I tell my dad about the park and the barn. He replies, "oh yeah we would rent that place out on the weekends for meetings when you were a baby!" WOW, that is cool I felt that connection and was right. I am psych major so pardon my digression. I feel really at home in this park. Its peaceful. By the way if anyone could tell me what those locked holes in the ground are I would really like to be educated! I will have to go back when the mini old town part is back open, until then we enjoyed the view.

    We found this what is it? Anybody no??

    Nice park! Dog friendly and plenty of parking. Kids' jungle gym and huge open fields. Bathroom facilities are good, open grassy areas are well taken care of.

    A very peaceful, beautiful park. There are several entrances. There is a playground, clean restrooms, a picnic area, open grassy area, and a barn. Get a better idea by checking out my pictures :-)

    Small, simple, clean. Lots of parking. Lots of green grass. I came on a Friday morning and there are just a couple of kids here. There are a few dogs out getting some fresh air. Some are off leash. But there is a busy road on other side of field that I would be worried a dog would run to. 4 stars cause it is rather small and there isn't much shade for the playground itself. I appreciate playgrounds with shade so the equipment doesn't get so hot for the little ones. I only see a couple of shaded picnic tables. No grills.

    Some shady trails running along the Twin Oaks gold course

    Excellent park for everyone. Dogs and horses are allowed and lots of opportunities to hike and even fly a kite.

    I visited Double Peak Park in San Marcos recently, and it turned out to be a much more lively and…read morememorable place than I expected. Even though it is an outdoor park, it has this energetic atmosphere that teenagers would enjoy a lot. I saw a surprising number of teenagers around the lookout areas, the trails, and the picnic spots, which made the whole place feel youthful and social in a way that reminded me of the playful energy I felt at Funko Hollywood. The wide open views at the top almost felt unreal when I first saw them, and I could easily understand why so many teens were taking pictures there. The scenery practically invites you to take photos without needing anything extra. As I walked around, I realized there was more to the park than I expected. Some parts of the trail felt a little worn down, and a few areas could have been more polished, which is part of why I would give it four stars instead of five. Still, I appreciated how easy it was to explore the park without feeling rushed or overwhelmed. Even with groups of teenagers laughing and taking pictures, the atmosphere stayed calm and relaxing. I only visited Double Peak Park one time before writing this review, but it left a strong impression on me because of how open, peaceful, and lively it felt all at once. It is one of the more refreshing outdoor places I have been to in a while, and I never doubted that the experience would turn out the way I hoped it would. I would highly recommend that teenagers go there because they would love the photo opportunities, the sense of freedom on the trails, and the creative feeling that comes from being somewhere with such a wide and inspiring view. It gives them a place to hang out, take pictures, and enjoy themselves without spending any money.

    What a view! I came up for the Starwalk event hosted by the city of San Marcos through the Double…read morePeak Astronomy program. There was plenty of parking but we got there early just in case. We walked up to the check-in desk, provided our info, and were given instructions, star maps, and red lenses for our phones. We then walked to Mahnita Boyden-Wofford Amphitheater (a large cement amphitheater) and found seats facing the volunteer ranger presenting the night's info. Unfortunately, it was a bit too foggy to see much. The volunteer ranger (John Walsh) answered questions and explained differences between various stars, meteors, satellites and sky debris. Occasionally, the sky would open up for us to see a few stars. We did get to see the summer triangle and a satellite though. It was a good learning experience and I hope to do more in the future on a clear night. Tip: apparently it's tarrantula season so watch your step.
