## About

Phil Hardberger Park is a 330-acre natural oasis in northern San Antonio famous for the Robert L.B. Tobin Land Bridge—the largest wildlife bridge in the United States. Over Thanksgiving weekend, families can cross the spectacular landscaped bridge connecting the park's east and west sides, spotting native plants and animal tracks alongside the elevated Skywalk leading through the treetops. Children can climb logs, balance on limestone boulders, and build forts in the dedicated natural playground, while families stroll along miles of peaceful oak savanna and wetland trails.

Family Experience & Accessibility:
• Stroller Accessibility: Paved and crushed granite multi-use trails easily accommodate all strollers and wagons across the Land Bridge and throughout the park.
• Nursing & Rest Spots: Modern air-conditioned restrooms, water bottle refill stations, and shaded picnic pavilions at the Urban Ecology Center (West) and Salado Outdoor Classroom (East).
• Age Suitability: Ideal for all ages, from toddlers exploring nature play elements to older kids and parents hiking scenic loop trails.
• Sensory Tips: Calm, natural park environment with sweeping Hill Country views; elevated Skywalk is peaceful and gives an immersive bird's-eye perspective.
