Panther Springs Park

Came across this park while staying in the Stone
Oak area. Entered down by the library and walked
about half the concrete trail and back and then drove
up to the dog park entrance. Morris ended up playing
with five other dogs in the larger park at one point and
then we took another walk. Glad we found it and met
some nice people too. The dog park area was fairly
well maintained during our visit in February.

Apparently there’s 3 entrances to this expanded park:
All on Wilderness Oak — this location, one behind Parman Library, and another behind Wilderness Oaks Elementary.
This Doggy park is very clean and seems pretty safe. There’s always a police car here in the parking lot to keep watch. I just don’t like how it’s so close to the main street and there is not really a pedestrian crosswalk with a stop light. Only flashing lights but the cars are still pretty fast. It’s easy access and the Doggy area is double-​gated so you can let them loose and have them play in the agility area if you want. There is also exercise stations for their humans too along the trails! LOL
Behind Wilderness Oaks Elementary has 2 trails, both very easy and smooth. It would be best to start there. This location, however, has the port-​a-​potties. Another Unilocaler posted a pic of the trails in yellow and orange. Check it out. This park is huge so you could easily get lost if you wonder but patrol is everywhere along with everyone else.
Another nice park is Stone Oak Park if you haven’t checked it out. It has trails that are more difficult and more shade. And it’s not that far from here!

Dog Park Review — I love the location and easy access to this dog park, however, after taking my dog quite a few times since it opened, I have to stop. This is due to humans not picking up after their dogs! It seems like the majority of people bring their dogs in and then forget about them. For some reason people congregate around the gate which makes it a pain to get in and out. While people are standing around talking, their dog is wandering around pooping somewhere. It’s like these people take their dog there to poop so they don’t have to worry about it in their own yard. I’m tired of walking around with my dog having to watch everywhere I step to ensure I don’t step in poop. Not to mention my dog possibly stepping in it, disgusting.

I love Panther Springs Park. It is a great place near home to take our dogs. The dog park is really good and there are usually at least a few dogs around to play with. We like walking the paved trails as well as the unpaved ones.

This is a nice park with clear trails. There isn’t much shade, especially compared to other parks nearby. It may not be patrolled as often by park rangers as evidenced by beer cans and other trash just off trail. Also, people need to clean up after their dogs.

Such a nice park! There are nice paved trails as well as unpaved trails. There is also a small dog park and a dog park at the entrance off of Wilderness Oaks. You can also enter the park from Wilderness Oak elementary school and the Parman Library.
Just don’t go if it is raining. this park is located in a flood plain.

Excellent trails, all smoothly paved! They have a great dog park, picnic areas and miles of great trails that run throughout the west Stone Oak/​Blanco area. You can easily get to the Parman Library or Wilderness Oak Elementary. Nice :)

Panther Springs Park (on Wilderness Oak in the Stone Oak area) was much anticipated, and it turned out to be better than we had hoped. We have already visited the dog park a few times, and it has plenty of space for our four-​legged family members to run and play. A few more shade trees should be planted as soon as possible, because in the summer it’s going to get hot.
The new concrete paths are well designed and are just the right length for a nice walk. We have ridden our mountain bikes on the pathway as well as the dirt trails, and there is a lot of variety to get a good workout. It’s too bad that the water-​control berm/​dam has been fenced off because that was a good place to ride, but I understand if that is part of the flood control property. If you go, be sure to walk the entire path from the Wilderness Oak access all the way to Parman Branch Library. Once you are there, the Nature Trail is a nice, tranquil walk through the trees with some exercise equipment to help a workout.
San Antonio has done a great job expanding the green trail system, and the Panther Springs Park is a wonderful addition to the system.

nice place for a walk or for the dog park. plenty of parking. the concrete path starts at wilderness oak and you can walk all the way to the library. lots of benches to catch your breath. the dog park has bark so your pooch isn’t filthy when you’re taking them home. will be back.

My 2 fur babies were long over due for a trip to the dog park so I decided to take them to check out the Panther Springs dog park. I haven’t been to any other dog parks in the San Antonio area yet but I was pleased with this one and will definitely be returning soon!

Love this park. Just went in after work today and it’s beautiful. Ran from the entrance of wilderness oak to the library. On the paved section. And there is some not paved sections too. There is plenty of parking. And I saw my subdivision from a section of the path. And love the dog park.

Found a new spot to bring my JR Terriers. There very active and this is the place they drain some of there battery!
There’s also a 3mi running and biking track/​trail that extends to the library near by. Pretty cool…
