Phil Hardberger Park & Robert L.B. Tobin Land Bridge: Forest Canopy Walk & Playgrounds

About this adventure

Phil Hardberger Park is a 330-acre natural oasis in north-central San Antonio celebrated for the Robert L.B. Tobin Land Bridge—the largest wildlife and pedestrian land bridge in the Americas. This remarkable ecological bridge spans six lanes of Wurzbach Parkway with native trees, wild grass meadows, and two elevated wildlife viewing blinds where families can quietly observe songbirds and deer without disturbing them. The park is connected by the Skywalk, a gently sloping 1,000-foot elevated boardwalk that elevates hikers, strollers, and wheelchairs up into the treetops 18 feet above the forest floor. Both the East (Blanco Rd) and West (NW Military Hwy) park sides offer modern, fenced children's playgrounds with swings, climbing webs, and soft turf, plus the Urban Ecology Center offering interactive nature exhibits, clean family restrooms, and free nature education programs every weekend.
