EXPLORE THE GREENER SIDE OF LIFE!
The City of San Antonio, Parks and Recreation Department’s Howard W. Peak Greenway Trails offer perfect places to hike, bike, stroll, meet, talk, sit, look, picnic, play, exercise, relax, bird watch, people watch, read, fly a kite, dog walk and soak up the sun. With clean air to breathe, nature scenes to observe and miles upon miles to explore, the greenway trails are connecting San Antonio in a whole new way.
The greenways are an ever-growing network of trails, parks, creekways and natural areas that will hope
-fully one day link the entire city. These trails provide limitless opportunities to connect with nature, be active and promote a healthy environment. In several locations, the trails connect to other trail networks and destinations.
Funded by the Linear Park Development Program for Salado Creek, Leon Creek, the Medina River, the San Antonio River and their tributaries, the greenways currently offer approximately 47 miles of trails on over 1275 acres throughout the city. As ongoing work is completed, expect to see many more miles to explore in the near future.
Trailheads include wayfinding maps and other information and are located throughout all Greenway systems. For the latest greenway news and trail maps, visit www.sanantonio.gov/creekways.
• Greenway trails are only open sunrise to sunset.
• Be aware of your surroundings.• Enjoy the parks and trails with a friend or in a group.• Remain on the main trails.
• Stay right, pass on left.• Cyclists: Travel at a safe speed, yield to pedestrians and ware a helmet at all times.• Be sure to keep your dog on a leash and pick up after your pet.
Central City Trails
The Westside Creeks, located just west of downtown San Antonio within Loop 410, will soon be home to several miles of creekside hike and bike trails. Traildesign and construction has begun for the Apache, Alazanand Martinez Creeks along with Apache/San Pedro Creek South which will provide new outdoor recreationopportunities within walking distance of thousands ofhomes on San Antonio’s Westside. The trails will also provide connections to area parks, businesses and schools.
Several miles of existing and planned trails are located within Central and Downtown San Antonio. San Antonio River trails include the Downtown River Walk, the Historic Mission Reach and River North, which currently connects to the San Antonio Museum of Art, the newly redeveloped Pearl Brewery and several restaurants and entertainment venues. The Park Reach of the San Antonio River trails will eventually connect downtown to Brackenridge Park, offering a wide variety of recreational opportunities,
the Brackenridge Golf Course.
A greenway trail has also been completed along Olmos Creek in north central San Antonio that provides addi- tional hiking and biking opportunities to area residents and visitors.

beautiful paved trail segments and natural surface trails stretching through north and east San Antonio. Plans are currently in the works to add several additional miles to the Salado Creek
Leon Creek Greenway to the northwest and Southeast Military Drive.
This seven-mile trail stretches east from the Medina River Natural Area, located on State Highway 16, south of Lone Star Pass on the City’s Southside. The Medina River Greenway is a refreshing escape for those seeking the serenity of the great outdoors within a short drive of home. With large Cypress, Oak and Pecan trees along the flowing Medina River, traveling the trail is a peaceful adventure. The terrain is mostly easy, but includes switchbacks with slopes up to 8.3 percent in two locations.
The trail will soon be extended eastward,
Mission Del Lago Golf Course. Future plans include a project to extend the trail furthereast to the San Antonio River trails at MissionEspada.
The Leon Creek Greenway currently offers 17 miles of paved, multi-use trails and will soon be expanded to tributaries including Huesta Creek, Culebra Creek and Huebner Creek. The longest connected trail segment to date winds approximately 13.5 miles from Loop 1604 to Ingram Road. A 1.5 mile trail at Pearsall Parkon Old Pearsall Road is part of the Leon Creek Greenway System, along with a 2.6 mile loop trail off Old Highway 90 at Levi Strauss Park and Rodriguez County Park.
Leon Creek trail users have the opportunity to experience views of limestone bluffs, wildflower
other heritage trees and often see wildlife on quiet mornings and evenings. The paved trails are mostly easy, with steeper slopes at the O.P. Schnabel Park and Leon Vista connection trails.
The trails also feature connections to several adjacent parks, University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA), Wolff Stadium and numerous adjacent neighborhoods and businesses. A trailhead at VIA’s Ingram Road Transit Center is located at 3215 Northwestern Drive and provides direct bus access for trail users.
