OP Schnabel Park, San Antonio
OP Schnabel has a variety of trails, from flat smooth trails to downhills, climbs, shaded forest and even jumps. There is a large BMX area with 4-foot high dirt jumps, some even have obstacles like old refrigerators in the middle of the jump. The park is located along a river and crosses over water in several areas. Trails can be rocky in areas and muddy after a rain. | ||||||||

| Directions: | Take I-35 south to 1604. Take 1604 west (right) down to Bandera Road. Take Bandera east to the entrance of the park. If I remember correctly, there is a huge "Grass" billboard right at the entrance. |
