SAN ANTONIO – Just in time for spring and summer outings, a variety of new park amenities and trails have opened in the San Antonio area.
That means more time in nature amid a stressful year, plus new and cool features like the Skywalk at Phil Hardberger Park.

The Skywalk opened to the public earlier this month with a “squirrel’s eye view” of the North Side park.
The elevated, 1,000-foot-long walkway gently climbs 18-feet off the ground and connects people to the top of the Robert L.B. Tobin Land Bridge, which was also recently completed.
“The Skywalk is one of the most unique features of the Robert L.B. Tobin Land Bridge. I like to describe it as zip-line powered by your feet.” said former San Antonio Mayor Phil Hardberger.
The land bridge trail is about a quarter-mile long, according to the park.
Closer to downtown San Antonio, a new one-acre dog park has opened at Maverick Park. It includes sections for both large and small dogs, and Maverick park itself has been upgraded with new tables and seating.
