Parkwood
A network of trails connects to OP Schnabel Park
Residents have easy access to outdoor recreation right in the neighborhood. The community features a junior Olympic-sized pool that opens on Memorial Day, with lifeguards on duty, and nearby lighted tennis and pickleball courts. Behind the pool, a path leads to a trail system connecting Parkwood to the 20-mile Leon Creek Greenway, which winds through the city and connects to two major parks. "This location is great — it’s between OP Schnabel and Bamberger Nature Park," Ortega says. "OP Schnabel Park was the first outdoor space I found when we moved here. It’s full of deer wandering around at all times of day." The park spans over 200 acres and features wooded trails, a YMCA and the Northside Suburban Little League. Several trails lead north to Bamberger Nature Park, surrounded by bigtooth maples, and home to the San Antonio Target Hunting and Fishing Club.

Quick drive to The Shops at La Cantera
Parkwood is 4 miles south of one of San Antonio's busiest shopping corridors. The Shops at La Cantera is an outdoor mall with over 190 retailers. "I love spending Sundays here, just walking around and shopping. It's a beautiful area," Ortega says. "The trail passes right through Parkwood, so you can hop on a trail and head north to La Cantera for shopping or go south and end up downtown." Mia's Mexican Grill is a family-owned restaurant, opened by a local couple who named it after their daughter. The restaurant features neon signs and a central bar and is known for its slow-smoked barbacoa. The neighborhood is also 3 miles from H-E-B Plus for groceries, and across the street is the larger Bandera Pointe, home to Target and Lowe's.
