Love going to this park with my daughter. Great little park, huge park system to explore the walking paths. Literally the best part of San Antonio is the park system.

I experience 2 different parts of this park. (Apologies, but Idk what to technically call these parts I visited) One was a pavilion (beside playground equipment): it was nice, w/stone/concrete tables and benches, and very clean. The other part I visited was the Dog Park: more specifically, the Dog Park for little dogs! I absolutely LUV that they had separate dog parks for the bigger and smaller size dogs! I most DEFINITELY didnt feel like my smaller puppies were going to get into situations they cant get themselves out of, lol, with the bigger pooches lol. Im other words, I felt more at ease, for sure. ... Lol

Great place to take the family. A good size playground for the kids. Great nature area for exploring and letting your mind wonder all before you who walked the land. Great history behind Waller Ranch. Plus you have a paved trail that enters into Salado Creek Greenway. Miles of paved trails with many bikers, walkers and joggers. Just a fun and free place if looking to get some fresh air. Playground: Big playground! Toilets: Park like bathrooms Dog-friendliness: Yes, but bring water for the pet. Picnic area: Tons of tables.

This park just had newly renovated floor put in on the playground. There are lights on the playground for late-night playing. The wildlife is abundant and you are able to see them from the playground area as well as the walking trails. The walking trails connect to Phil hardberger Park. The restrooms were recently built and have changing tables for babies. It also has water fountains with a water bottle filler.

Attended a birthday party there. The Pavillion was right next to the playground, which was a huge plus. Beautiful scenery, we got lucky and saw some deers racing by. The downfall was that they didnt have barbecue pits, so the host had to bring their own. Although the bathrooms were also in decent range, so another plus.

I visit Walker Ranch Park about once a week. Walker Ranch is historic, and a windmill from the old ranch remains near the center of the park and still provides water for deer and other wildlife. Close to the West Avenue side, picnic tables and a covered patio are available with playground equipment for kids. There is enough grassy area available for leisure, and Ive noticed dog/owner training was offered by someone on Saturdays. Park Police often do rounds at the park. There are four trailheads through the park, three lower along Salado Creek and a fourth a bit higher above Salado Creek and within view of Wurzbach Parkway. Additionally, a natural dam slows down flood waters and protects Walker Ranch Park. My dog loves to take a dip at the dam when enough rain falls. So, why would someone who visits the Park with his dog about once a week rate it with only 3 stars? Because I remember Walker Ranch Park before the concrete, 8-foot wide bicycle road was run through the middle of the park. Im not against bicycling; I have a well-ridden Trek. But this cement bike highway, which eventually connects with Hardberger Park off Blanco, could have been routed along the Wurzbach Parkway end instead of ramroded through the middle of the park. It no longer looks or feels like the peaceful park it was intended to be. Update: June 14, 2022. Some plant life in Walker Ranch Park is suffering from the severe, extended drought. In particular is a scrawny tree commonly called Red Buckeye. Ive identified it as far as 100 feet from Salado Creek, which is dry most of the time. Sprinkled throughout the park, its damaged yellow leafage stands out. Drought continues to damage the park. Update, 2/21/2023. Sudden limb drop doubled between June and September, in my estimation. The rain in January greened up the grasses. A lot of limbs cut by city are still on the ground close to bike trail. Still a lot of tree damage. Update, 2/26/2023. Drier than Ive ever seen it. Update, 12/5/2023. Still in drought. However, a little fall rain helped grass to come back and restored Turks Cap. Playground: Nice playground with slides and other activities to keep kids occupied. Toilets: New restrooms opened on the west side of the park. Dog-friendliness: Lots of happy puppies. Picnic area: The problem right now is the exceptional drought. No green grass anywhere.

Fairly quiet weekdays, and Saturdays during football season. Much busier on nice Sundays. Plenty of walking, jogging, biking options. Enjoy local deer sightings. Connects to miles of paths north/west and south/east (Salado Creek Greenway). Play areas for kids. Can be tight parking in the main lot which is off West Ave. More parking off a side road, Rhapsody, just south of the main park entrance. The new (2022) Walker Ranch Senior Center is also on Rhapsody.

This park is nice, but it gets crowded with bikes, walkers, photographer, and runners. There are deer that dont bother you. You dont really see too much anymore. There are benches to sit on. Then it seems like its a small park. Its close by to people who live around there though.

Walker ranch park is clean, fun and safe for kids! We highly recommend taking the kiddos there. The padding on the play ground ensures us that our kids wont get hurt if the fall or trip. The bbq pits are clean and theres plenty of space for a party if you need the pavilion. The trails are clean and fun too if you want to venture out! This park is a must try!!
