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. Trails
planned for the Apache, Alazan and Martinez Creeks,
along with Apache/San Pedro Creek South will
provide new outdoor recreation opportunities within
walking distance of thousands of homes on San
Antonio’s Westside. The trails will also provide
connections to area parks, businesses and schools.

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.
STINSON

The greenways are an ever-growing network of trails,
parks, creekways and natural areas that will hopefully 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 41 miles of trails on
over 1200 acres throughout the city. As ongoing work
is completed, expect to see many more miles to
explore in the near future.
The City of San Antonio is currently planning for the
expansion of the Leon Creek Greenway System to
include new trails along tributaries including Huesta
Creek, Culebra Creek and Huebner Creek.
Trailheads include wayfinding maps and other
information and are located throughout all Greenway
systems. For the latest greenway news and trail maps,

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 Park
on Old Pearsall Road is part of the Leon Creek
Greenway System and a 2.6 mile loop trail off
Old Highway 90 at Levi Strauss Park and
Rodriguez County Park was recently added.
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 Salado Creek Greenway includes several
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
Greenway System, providing connections to
Walker Ranch Historic Landmark Park and
Leon Creek Greenway to the northwest.
LEON CREEK GREENWAY SYSTEM
Leon Creek trail users have the opportunity to
experience views of limestone bluffs, wildflower
fields, stands of beautiful Cottonwoods and
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.
Future plans include extending the trail
eastward, connecting to Jim Mattox Park by the
Mission Del Lago Golf Course and to the San
Antonio River trails at Mission Espada.
