Greenway Trails

Forty-one miles of developed Greenway trails are now open to the public. The Linear Park Development Program for Salado Creek, Leon Creek, Medina River and the San Antonio River is funded through sales tax approved by voters in 2000, 2005 and 2010. Approximately 1,200 acres of property along San Antonio Creekways have been acquired for the program since its inception.

 

Transit Center Trailhead Wins State Award
The Texas Trails Network recently awarded VIA Metropolitan Transit and the Parks and Recreation Department the Great Texas Trailhead Award at its annual state conference here in San Antonio.

The Great Trail Head Award is given to a public or private entity in recognition of innovative trail planning and design. The award honors the collaborative effort to develop a trailhead at the Ingram Transit Center to connect with the Leon Creek Greenway. The two agencies worked together after VIA acquired the land next to the busy transit center to make the tract accessible to trail riders on Leon Creek Greenway. Now the trailhead provides both transit riders and trail riders seamless access to passenger amenities such as restrooms, vending machines and customer service representatives.

The trailhead portion of the project, overseen by Greenways’ Special Projects Manager Brandon Ross and his staff, includes amenities such as lighting, interpretive signage and maps, picnic tables, bicycle parking and a shade structure.

The Transit Center trailhead is located at the southern end of 13 continuous miles of concrete and asphalt trail beginning at Loop 1604 on the north side and following the creek south to Ingram Road.

Completed greenway segments include:

  • Leon Creek, Loop 1604 to Ingram Road
  • Leon Creek, Pearsall Park to near Quintana Road
  • Medina River, Medina River Natural Area to Old Applewhite Road
  • Salado Creek, Covington Park to South Side Lions Park
  • Salado Creek, Huebner to Blanco Road
  • Salado Creek, Loop 410 to Eisenhauer
    (trailhead in Robert L.B. Tobin Park)
  • Salado Creek Greenway North, McAllister Park to Loop 410 Segment
    (with a trailhead at Lady Bird Johnson Park)
