Raymond Rimkus Park

Love this park! I come here often when it’s already closed and dark to do my favorite hobby in somewhat private. I see deer on occasion and it is usually pretty busy when it’s not after hours.

This is favorite park. We haven’t been to a movie in the park yet but we are looking forward to it soon. I will say the soccer field gets busy on the weeks with a group that doesn’t know how to share with other families. But over all love this park.

This review may be unfair, as my complaint is a few months old.
The soccer fields are a disaster. And, can be dangerous. They are uneven, rocky and muddy for weeks after it rains.
The little soccer field is especially bad. My little girl hurt her ankle as we tried to practice on it. 4″ deep holes in the packed dirt. Looks like a truck drove over it several times.
Some park maintenance and better planning will help.

Not sure how long this place has been under construction but the one trail that was open was really beautiful. Definitely a great place to walk, run or bike on the paved trail. Great scenery :)

I really liked this park. Huge play equipment area and lots of soccer nets to practice around also a baseball field. The have an old school merry-​go-​round which is fantastic! However it was extremely muddy because of all the rainy mixed with deteriorating mulch.
Everyone at the park seemed very friendly and there were busses from day cares coming to use it as well.
I parked by the creek and had to cross there even though the water wasn’t crossing the pathway it was extremely slippery crossing there, so be cautious. I wish there was parking closer to the playground equipment but that won’t deter us from coming back.

Passing through San Antone and wanted to shoot some hoops. I rolled up and was thrilled to find a vibrant park with families and a mix of ages. 2 short courts with a good number of people ball’n.
Friendly crowd!

This is an older park but very well kept! The restrooms are clean, the playground equipment is seemingly upgraded. The greenery is beautiful and maintained. There is a good size path to walk or run on and the best part is that the playground is fenced in which is great if you have a toddler that is a runner like mine!

Lots of space to play and lots of kids to play with. May some nice folks and my kid had a great time. Only downfall was the bathroom facility was a little worn down.

This park is nice. There are many slides and areas for kids to play. The only concern i had was that the tallest slide there was extremely high in my opinion. I saw a few children under the age of two for sure and there were openings at the top where the kids could just fall down. It was at least 12 feet and for small children… that could really hurt them. So other than that its alot of fun for kids and theres plenty of areas to sit down as well. The playground sits at the far corner of the park so be prepared to walk a trail to get to it!

Had a really fun picnic here — except for the group at the table on the other side of the picnic area who seemed to feel their music was what everyone wanted to hear. But basically we had a good time, and will give it another go. Very much appreciated the shade and the ample picnic tables.

Cute park with lots to do, check the rules, you can even bring some alcohol if you’re so inclined to :) They do need a slight update in their exercise equipment since most of them are wooden and a little dated. There’s plenty of walking trails and even a creepy one where you eventually come across the burial ground for Mr. Huebner! My Chi loves this park and all of the open space, and he especially loves going up to the children and getting petted. Rimkus is a great neighborhood park with lots to do, including a pavilion for parties, softball/​baseball/​soccer fields, a community garden, tennis/​basketball courts, a playground just for kids, walking trails (both paved and rocky) and plenty of space for BBQ’s and moon bounces.

Raymond Rinkus is a well-​kept park is hidden away between Bandera and Evans Road. Usually plenty of parking and there’s a pool in close proximity too. I just can’t remember if the pool is open to the public. During heavy rains the gutters that are between the park and the parking spaces can get easily flooded (mostly due to flash flooding) so do take care in this area when here at those times. Aside from that they have picnic tables and plenty of spaces to relax in.

Nice quiet park with playground for kids, good walking trails, softball, tennis, basketball, soccer, decent restrooms and reserved picnic areas and pavilions, pet friendly. Good job, Leon Valley!

We recently moved to the NW side of town, so I have been on a quest to take my dog to every park around the area in search of the best one. Today we made it here to Raymond Rimkus Park. So far, this is definitely one of my top parks!
PROS:
Lots of wide open space, yet trails are still fairly well shaded with surrounding trees.
Felt very safe (a concern of mind being a female who goes to parks alone).
Several nice families playing in the park, even in the middle of the day on a weekday.
Lots of sports fields, a huge playground, a wildflower garden.
An inner and outer walking trail with lots of trash cans and doggie bag stations.
Workout areas around the trails.
Very clean and lots of picnic areas.
CONS:
Walking the inner and outer trail combined equaled a total of ¾ a mile, which may not be a con to some people, but I like walking at least a mile without having to walk in circles.

Fun park :) love the merry-​go-​round

I love taking my family here. There is a nice playground and tennis courts. There is a nice nature/​jogging trail.

My nieces love this park. They like the merry go round. You can also reserve the pavilion for parties, directions are at the website. Ample shaded areas all around the BBQ pits and picnic tables.

It’s an awesome park nestled in Leon Valley. It’s a great place to go for a stroll, take your family, walk your dog, play some sports, or have a picnic. The possibilities are endless at this nice park. I go there on the weekends to play softball and always had an awesome time. The parking lot is clean and the facilities are well taken care of. You won’t be disappointed!

This park is awesome!
I’ve taken my toddler to quite a few playgrounds in San Antonio parks, but I do have to say that this one is by far his favorite. The playscape is just so much fun with a separate little toddler area and a big playscape for the bigger kids. There’s a small walking trail that goes around the park, which is just big enough if you want to go for a walk or if you’re teaching your child how to ride a bike. There’s a soccer field, basketball courts and tennis courts. Lots of picnic tables that are shaded for when it’s really hot outside. The parking is never a hassle when we come and we’ve come on the weekends when it is really «busy» but we never have a hard time finding a parking spot.
All-​in-​all this is one of the best parks in San Antonio for us. The playscape is fantastic!

This park has plenty to offer the casual stroller or the serious athlete. Plenty of oak trees offer shade for Raymond Rimkus, where you can find tennis courts, soccer fields, a playground, picnic tables, soccer fields and a volleyball pit. Pretty impressive, huh?
Circling all these activities are two trails, a ½ mile paved trail and a mile nature (aka, dirt) trail. Both trails are well marked and mostly shaded. The tennis courts and volleyball pit usually have people using them, so be willing to be patient if you would like to play. There is usually plenty of room to throw a football or kick a soccer ball around though. The playground is pretty popular too, and even has a little fence around it to prevent the kiddos from running into the road.
Overall, this park is a great place to spend an afternoon, whether you are looking for a casual walk or some serious tennis practice. I tend to forget Raymond is there, considering it is kind of off the usual path for me, but it offers some great diversions for sunny day weather.
