South Trailhead
Our design plan focuses on the existing canopy, minimizing development while restoring the habitat. We have created nine arboretum zones based on expected audiences, visitation duration, and existing landscape resources.
The Arboretum’s 200 acres are joined by 32 acres of City of San Antonio Parks land and 18 acres of Bexar County Parks land - all connected to Salado Creek and the Howard W. Peak Greenway through our South Trailhead to become one of the largest connected green spaces in the City and Bexar County.

Connecting the Southeast Side
Arboretum San Antonio will add to our city's 100-plus miles of linear creek trail systems and connect the Southeast side
portion to the Salado Creek Greenway, Greenline Park at Brooks, the San Antonio River, and easy access to our missions.
Arboretum San Antonio will help define San Antonio as a “city of trees” and a “green city”. Let's connect San Antonio!
