Friedrich Wilderness Park

Friedrich Wilderness Park encompasses 600 acres of Hill Country land with 10 miles of trails through dense woodlands and limestone canyons.

Norma Friedrich Ward donated 180 acres and $100,000 to San Antonio in 1971, establishing the foundation for the park's creation in 1978.

The park maintains an active environmental education program teaching visitors about local ecosystems and endangered bird species conservation.

Visitors should bring water containers for hikes as fountains are only available at the entrance, and the park operates from sunrise to sunset.

Two endangered songbirds, the Golden-cheeked Warbler and Black-capped Vireo, nest within the protected habitats of the park.
