The park is off Corporate Woods Drive, one of San Antonio’s most amusingly named thoroughfares: It makes me think of a squirrel in a tiny business suit squeaking into a miniature Bluetooth earpiece.

0.6 miles of paved trail, roughly 0.5 miles of dirt and mulch trailsGold Canyon Park is a 72-acre park just north of Loop 1604 on the North Side.

The park’s entrance is just off Corporate Woods Drive, one of San Antonio’s most amusingly named thoroughfares: It makes me think of a squirrel in a tiny business suit squeaking into a miniature Bluetooth earpiece. The deer I encountered along the main loop, however, went about their business causally, grazing lazily alongside the paved trail that slopes downhill from the parking lot, looking up to stare as I passed, but not to bolt into the trees.

This is the extent of the official trails at Gold Canyon Park. The mulchy path, in particular, follows a pleasant stretch of woods with some notably large Ashe juniper trees. When I visited on Tuesday, spiky-leafed agarita plants were in bloom, their yellow flowers giving off a fragrant honey-like scent.
