If you’re an avid mountain biker or just someone who enjoys the occasional hike, McAllister Park is a must-see green space in the San Antonio area. This beautifully scenic public park is filled with miles of paved trails, dirt trails, and everything in between, creating a great day of fun outdoors in the saddle of your trusty bike. While you ride, you’ll often encoutner shy white tail deer, rabbits, native birds and other wildlife in their natural habitats along the wooded trails.

There are large, grassy fields where you can have a picnic or even play a game of Frisbee, and if you’re looking for a more serious place to play, McAllister Park also contains baseball fields and soccer fields perfect for a pick-up game. The entire park is also dog friendly, so you’ll even find people walking their four-legged friends along the trails or in the small dog park in the park’s center.
