About

Woodlawn Lake Park is a 62-acre park built around a small urban lake on the west side of San Antonio. The paved loop around the lake is one of the most popular walking and jogging routes in the city — flat, well-lit, and shaded by mature pecan trees. Community events are frequent. A second, unpaved path runs through the wooded interior with more bird activity. Strong year-round use.

Shade Details

Mature pecan trees line the lake loop and the interior paths, providing consistent shade.

Conditions & Tips

Usable year-round including summer due to shade. Well-lit for early morning and evening use. Popular running path.
