Cuellar Park

Park Features

Found in San Antonio, Texas, Cuellar Park (officially Patrolman Richard Cuellar Park) is a green oasis where the community comes together to play, exercise, and unwind. It's a well-kept space where you can escape the urban hustle and reconnect with nature and neighbors alike.

The park stretches across a generous area with plenty of facilities, maintaining a clean, inviting vibe that makes you feel right at home whether you're a regular or first-time visitor.

Walking and Fitness

Need to get your steps in? The park has a 0.6-mile asphalt walking trail that loops through the grounds. It's meant for a morning power walk or an evening stroll to clear your mind. Just watch your step - some sections have seen better days with a few cracks and bumps along the way.

If you're looking to level up your workout, check out the Energi Total Body Fitness Systems by Playworld System. These five stationary stations offer everything from resistance training to cardio, stretching, and balance exercises - like having a gym membership in the great outdoors!

Swimming

When Texas turns up the heat, the park's swimming pool is a welcome spot to cool off. Clean water, attentive lifeguards, and spacious changing areas with showers make for a hassle-free swimming experience.

With sections around 3'6" deep, it's particularly suitable for families with kids. During summer months, the pool even partners with the school district to provide lunch for children. Note that the pool closes during the off-season, so plan your aquatic adventures accordingly.

Sports Facilities

Sports enthusiasts will feel right at home with the variety of athletic facilities. The park features baseball and softball fields that regularly host youth league games, basketball goals for pickup games, and a soccer field complete with goals.

Skateboarders have their own dedicated space too - a skate park that typically doesn't get overcrowded, giving you plenty of room to practice those tricks.

Community Center

Cuellar Park's community center is a hub for various activities. From youth sports leagues to arts and crafts sessions and table games, there's always something happening.

The staff here know their stuff and are great with kids, organizing activities that keep the younger crowd engaged and entertained. You can even rent the gyms for birthday parties and other private gatherings.

Picnic Areas and Playgrounds

Planning a family get-together? The park offers picnic areas with tables and grills, fantastic for those weekend cookouts. The shaded pavilions provide much-needed relief from the San Antonio sun, making outdoor dining comfortable even on warmer days.

Kids can burn off energy at two playgrounds located on opposite sides of the park. The climbing structures are a hit with local families, but they could use some canopies - bringing a hat for the little ones isn't a bad idea on sunny days.

Amenities

The practical stuff is covered too: restrooms, portable toilets, and water fountains are available throughout the park. Cyclists will find bike racks, and there's handicapped parking to ensure everyone can enjoy what Cuellar has to offer.

Dog owners will appreciate the dog waste bags available at some locations (though more consistent placement would be helpful for those "oops, forgot a bag" moments). The park welcomes visitors daily from 5AM to 11PM, giving you plenty of time to enjoy this community treasure.
