When I was looking for one more article for this week’s newsletter, I remembered that one of the features I love about our community is to have easy access to one of San Antonio’s treasures – McAllister Park.
When McAllister Park officially opened in April 1968, its original 713 acres contained four miles of trails. Since then the park has grown to 976 acres. Park facilities include five miles of asphalt trails, more than 10 miles of unpaved natural bicycle and cross-country trails, picnic units, Little League baseball fields, and soccer fields.
The San Antonio Road Runners and Harmony Hills Optimist Club have helped construct park improvements including paved jogging trails, a family area with covered pavilion, picnic sites, and barbecue pits. The Friends of McAllister Park organization advises the Parks and Recreation Department on an ongoing basis regarding park conditions and needs.
What a treasure to explore.
