While North Central San Antonio continues to grow in both size and population, the McAllister Park remains firmly anchored as a wooded respite among the concrete sprawl. Best known for its hiking and biking trails, the park attracts hundreds of visitors on the weekends. The trails vary in terms of their difficulty levels, and there are trails for bicyclists too. Other visitors enjoy the covered picnic areas, soccer and baseball fields. Camping is allowed with reservations and a permit from the Parks and Recreation department. The park is also home to a few pavilions, playgrounds and picnic spots.

Este parque temático es un regalo para cualquier persona que ama a los animales, las montañas rusas y los espectáculos más fabulosos. No sólo SeaWorld San Antonio tiene a Shamu (la orca adiestrada), sino que también tiene hábitats donde se pueden ver leones marinos, tiburones, peces, pingüinos y flamencos haciendo lo que harían en su ambiente natural. Para aquellos que anhelan ser parte de la acción, hay una montaña rusa invertida (se recomienda subir con el estómago vacío), junto con una variedad de atracciones acuáticas. No hay que dejar de echar un vistazo a los espectáculos de esquí acuático y restaurantes, también. Por la noche, hay espectáculos de láser y conciertos, de vez en cuando.

Trek into this park and you will feel like you have wandered far into the hill country. Only a short drive up IH-10 from downtown, Friedrich Wilderness Park offers 5.5 miles of hiking trails, which vary in terms of their difficulty levels. The park also boasts the most improved handicapped trails in the region. The more difficult trails can be a great workout, while the lower levels offer an easy walk in a beautiful setting. If you choose the highest level and find yourself being passed quickly by kindly older men don't despair—they are likely retired military officers from the nearby army base. In addition to its hiking trails, the park hosts a bird population so diverse that it attracts even hard-core bird enthusiasts. Guided interpretive hikes are available. This place is open evryday from 7:30 a.m onwards
