The park includes hike and bike trails, including associated amenities, low-water crossings, bridge structures, pedestrian access features and associated project signage. The trailhead located off Loop 410 also features a statue of Robert L.B. Tobin, in addition to faux bois picnic tables and signage elements designed by artisan Carlos Cortés. The Tobin Endowment generously contributed 89 acres of land to the project and the trailhead enhancements. The San Antonio Parks Foundation participated in the project by facilitating the land donation and trailhead improvements.

The total budget for the design and construction of Robert L.B. Tobin Park was $2,671,832 coming from the Proposition 2 Sales Tax Initiative.

The trailhead features the work of Mr. Cortés, a third-generation artisan who works in faux bois (false wood) or trabajo rústico that reproduces natural elements such as wood, thatch, vines and branches in concrete to form garden furniture. Mr. Cortés carries on the tradition of his great uncle Dionisio Rodriguez, who brought the skill to Texas from Mexico in the 1920s. In addition, The Tobin Endowment commissioned a statue of Robert L.B. Tobin by Santa Fe artist Norman L. Boyles.

The Tobin Endowment was established after the death of Robert L. B. Tobin, a local philanthropist known for his charitable giving to the arts. The land donated by the Endowment was part of the Margaret Batts and Edgar Gardner Tobin farm where the family raised cattle. Robert Tobin grew up on the property, riding in the woods and swimming in Salado Creek.
