A
At first sight, it might seem that apart from the Mission Trail, San Antonio is short
on places to enjoy the great outdoors. Take a closer look, however, and you'll see San
Antonio has much more to offer.
Brackenridge Park
North of downtown near Trinity University, 343-acre (英亩) Brackenridge Park is a
great place to spend a family day. Biking or walking around Brackenridge Park, along the
Mission Trail and along the River Walk makes for a nice outing when the weather is mild.

McAllister Park
For a taste of the Hill Country, head to this 976-acre park. It has about 7 miles of
paths for walking and cycling; one of the paths is also wheelchair-accessible. There is also
a public workout station near the Turkey Roost Trailhead in case you want to get your
sweat on and don't have membership at a local gym.
Friedrich Wilderness Park
This 600-acre park near Six Flags Fiesta Texas is just for hikers. It has 10 miles of
walking paths in a Hill Country landscape that are especially worth a visit when
wildflowers are blooming in spring. Close to the Balcones Escarpment, you can also see
evidence here of Texas' geologic (地质的) history.
San Antonio Botanical Garden
This expertly tended， 38-acre garden complex showcases native Texas flowers.
There's also a rose garden and a wonderful greenhouse, with a bit of everything from
rainforest to desert plants. Call or go online to the garden's website for a calendar of
special events- from concerts under the stars and yoga classes to bird walks and summer
classes for children.
