At the dividing line for San Antonio's greenway trail network, rain that lands on the west side of Eisenhower Park flows to Leon Creek and the east side flows to Salado Creek.
Restrooms:I’ve seen varying figures on the park’s size. The Bexar County tax map shows a 323-acre parcel that forms the main part of the park, with an adjacent 101 acres that includes a steep, switch-backing portion of the Leon Creek Greenway near the Rim.
The park is San Antonio’s hiking hotspot for dog owners . That makes it stand out from Friedrich Wilderness Park, northern San Antonio’s other main hiking attraction, where dogs aren’t allowed. Like at Friedrich, bikes, scooters, skateboards, and other wheeled devices aren’t allowed on Eisenhower trails.
Our route made a counterclockwise loop around the park, starting on Hillview Paved Trail, then dipping down into the half-mile Red Oak trail to weave through some of the prettiest woods in the park. We then rejoined Hillview trail and traveled south, climbing to the highest point of 1,230 feet. We skipped the observation tower and headed further south down a loose, rocky slope lined with sotol and yucca plants, descending more than 300 feet back down to the greenway trail.
The tower is one of the park’s original features, originally built by Churchill High School woodshop students ahead of the park’s official opening in 1988. The land was formerly part of Camp Bullis, the Army’s nearly 28,000-acre training ground separated from Eisenhower by a tall fence.
