McAllister Park

One of San Antonio’s largest and most popular city parks, McAllister features the city’s only official dog park (for now; keep an eye on Madison Square Park downtown), an extensive network of over 25 miles of trails, both paved and unpaved, and is a favorite of hiking, biking, and running enthusiasts, in addition to extreme-sports gurus. The wooded northside park is characterized by trees, rocky trails, logs, and natural surfaces, and native animals such as deer are easily observable in their natural environments. McAllister is extremely spread out and never overcrowded. Athletic fields and picnic spots dot the expansive landscape.
