Eisenhower Park (Hillview Trail)

Eisenhower Park, on San Antonio's far north side off NW Military Highway, is the city's best-known outdoor gay cruising spot. The action centers on the wooded Hillview Nature Trail and its quieter offshoots, mainly in daylight hours when the park is open. It is a public municipal park with families and hikers around, so discretion is essential — keep to the trails, respect other visitors, and remember that lewd conduct in public is illegal in Texas. Bring water; summer heat is intense. Long-standing and frequently referenced in cruising guides, but always exercise common sense and personal safety.
