Natural Area Parks are green spaces where conservation of natural resources takes center stage.  Managed by the San Antonio Parks and Recreation, Natural Areas parks offer a diverse range of recreational opportunities, including hiking, bird watching, educational programs, and volunteer opportunities.

The Natural Areas staff is a well-trained team of frontline maintenance staff, park naturalists, educators, and administration who work together to continue the division’s strong conservation mission.

Many of these areas have been preserved in partnership with other organizations like Texas Parks and Wildlife, Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, the Edwards Aquifer Authority, the San Antonio River Authority, and others.
