Friesenhahn Park — Attraction in San Antonio

Not a huge parking lot, but there was a space for me to get out of the sun and park to hike the trail after I had my lunch. There is a Porta potty near the entrance to the trails, but when I looked inside, it had a pile of clothes and looked like someone was living in there or at least sleeping in there at night. I walked the entire loop and it was about one and a quarter miles. Took a little less than 30 minutes to walk the loop. So it's a good lunchtime break to clear the head before going back to work. The trail has very little elevation change just minor up and downs, but the entire trail is paved. It's basically a 5 foot wide sidewalk loop so very easily accessible for anyone who wants to get out and do some hiking or just get back to nature. I didn't see any animals but saw three different birds, a cardinal, a mockingbird and a black Phoebe. Overall, not a bad space to have lunch and walk a little before heading back to work. I would...

Hardly a park. The wooded area behind two neighborhoods has a portion of space mowed down and cleared out to create this "park".

Several other pit and bench sets scattered around. Mainly for people who live in the nearby neighborhoods. Would not travel...

Friesenhahn Park is a quaint little spot. It doesn't have a lot of bells and whistles but it gets the job done if you just want to get a change of scenery and a bit of nature in! It has actual sidewalks which is nice. It also has a little covered gazebo type space with tables to eat at. It's pretty small but it looks like they might be trying to expand the trail. There is also one port-a-potty right at the entrance if you need to use the restroom. All in all, it's nice to have a cute little park in the neighborhood! *edited to say: They did expand the trail! Now you can go on a much longer walk through a lovely wooded area. It goes almost all the way to Classen rd before it loops back. It's a...
