Winner: Phil Hardberger Park
13203 Blanco Road
(210) 207-3284
There’s a reason Phil Hardberger Park keeps winning this category. The north San Antonio public space features not one but two expansive dog parks that combine for a total of 3.3 acres where canines can roam off-leash in the shade provided by live oak trees. Each dog park features areas designated for large and small pups, water fountains to keep them hydrated and seating for owners to take a load off while their dogs let off steam. Other amenities included agility equipment at the west-side dog park and a two-story doghouse in the small dog area of the east park. What can we say? Sometimes, bigger really is better.
