Measuring in at just under 81 acres, Comanche Lookout Park is a popular University City destination for locals in search of a little fresh air and sunshine. Here, hikers can break a sweat on 4.55 miles of trails, kids can swing and slide on the playground, and nature lovers can keep their eyes peeled for butterflies, native birds, jackrabbits, and wildflowers.
Trails are marked by level of difficulty, with the steeper inclines leading to the park's main draw: a lookout point that's the fourth-highest point in all of Bexar County. With an elevation of 1,340 feet, the park provides a stunning view of the surrounding landscape. In fact, Native Americans took in the very same view centuries ago; this hill was a popular vantage point for tracking wildlife or keeping tabs on enemy tribes.
Comanche Lookout Park is open to the public 5 a.m. to 11 p.m. daily.
