If you’ve ever dreamt of walking alongside all sorts of majestic wildlife, reality just got a whole lot sweeter. The Robert L.B. Tobin Land Bridge just opened at Phil Hardberger Park in San Antonio, and it’s no ordinary bridge – not only can humans cross it, but animals, too! It’s the largest bridge of its kind in the nation, and you’ll definitely want to visit soon.
Phil Hardberger Park has long-been a peaceful respite from the hustle and bustle of city life, but now, it serves a much greater purpose.
That's right - it isn't just for people! Deer have already been spotted making their way across, and animal sightings are only expected to go up from here.
Via the bridge, the 7.5 miles of trails meandering through the park are now connected.
Entrances to the park are located on Blanco Road, New Military Highway, and Voelcker Lane, with the Blanco Road entrance being closest to the bridge. Just like the park, the bridge is open daily from sunrise to sunset.
