Tobin Robert Park

Tobin Robert Park

Within Robert L.B. Tobin Park, a 2.1-mile segment of the Salado Creek Greenway has been constructed (between Loop 410 and Eisenhauer Road). The park includes hike and bike trails, including associated amenities, low-water crossings, bridge structures, pedestrian access features, and associated project signage.

The trailhead located off Loop 410 also features a statue of Robert L.B. Tobin, in addition to faux bois picnic tables and signage elements designed by artisan Carlos Cortés. The Tobin Endowment generously contributed 89 acres of land to the project and the trailhead enhancements. The San Antonio Parks Foundation participated in the project by facilitating the land donation and trailhead improvements. The improvements were dedicated in December 2008, with Mayor Phil Hardberger, former Mayor Howard Peak, and Mayor Emeritus Lila Cockrell. Tobin Statue - This project was part of the bigger Linear Creekway Parks Development Program, which was designed to acquire open space and create linear parks along Salado Creek, Leon Creek, Medina River, and the San Antonio River. Sales Tax funding for the project was approved by voters in 2000 (Proposition 3) and 2005 (Proposition 2). The program was begun under the leadership of Mayor Peak, who continued his service to the project by serving as Chairman of the Linear Creekway Parks Advisory Board, which meets monthly to discuss issues and make recommendations related to the program.
