The hiking trails at the Headwaters Sanctuary are a beautiful escape in the middle of the city…read more It's best to visit on a weekend when you don't need a university parking pass. The trails are not lighted, so come between dawn and dusk. The trailhead is located behind the baseball field. The Heritage Loop Trail is good for contemplative walking. It's level, well-mulched, and features artwork representing the Stations of the Cross. It encircles open fields and a formal garden, as well as bird and bat houses. Branching off from the Heritage Loop Trail are side trails that take you to more springs that contribute to the San Antonio River. There is a trail to the foot of the Olmos Dam. Volunteers have marked the paths to find massive heritage live oak trees, and are eradicating invasive species. The Headwaters Sanctuary brings together the spiritual and natural worlds in a unique place. You'll come away with a better appreciation for the San Antonio River and how much our city depends on groundwater and a healthy ecosystem.

Great place for a quiet weekend stroll - parking on summer weekend mornings is bountiful but it…read moremight be different during the school year. I *think* you're allowed to park here without a university permit near the softball fields. I did for a couple of hours and didn't get a ticket. I asked a couple of people on the trails and they said they *thought* it would be ok, but nobody seems to know for sure. This is a good place for a morning walk in the summer since it's so shaded. It's all crushed gravel, mulch, or dirt with hardly any inclines at all. A cheap pair of tennis shoes will suffice. 99% of the trails are shaded as you walk through the beautiful woods. The main loop trail is marked well, but once you get on the side trails, they split into separate trails that aren't marked. You won't get lost, but it's kind of confusing which trails you are on. As Stephen C stated in his tip, head left on the trail and go clockwise if you want to view the Stations of the Cross art work in chronological order - BUT be warned, because when I was there, a couple of them had wasp nests in the boxes that covered them. Don't get too close and you'll be fine - just don't rush up to them and put your face real close to view the art. Stay a good 5 feet away and make sure there's not a wasp nest in it. Check the map at the trail head and make sure you find your way to the Olmos Dam - you can get really close to it, if you walk down a little hill and get off the trail a little bit. Little Blue Hole is located toward the end of the loop trail if you started clockwise or near the beginning if you started counter-clockwise (both of these are also listed on the map at the trailhead). Total trails might be a mile long, but if you head toward Blue Hole and the Heritage Trails at Incarnate Word you can get another mile or so for your walk. To get to Blue Hole, take an immediate right on the gravel walkway from the parking lot - this is before you walk into the park and get to the trailhead - look for the bridge in my pictures. I really recommend checking out Blue Hole - it's a serene, peaceful setting and a great place for self-reflection and just being by yourself if that's what you need. This pathway will also take you to the grotto and some other paved walkways that take you onto the grounds of The Incarnate Word to some other cool spots.

As far as I know, it is the only place in San Antonio , outside of the Universities and colleges , that consistently offers open drawing sessions in a professional studio, using live figure models. It even has open session for portraits on Friday mornings, using live models. Additionally it offers adult classes in oil painting, for beginners, intermediate, and more advanced painters. It has classes for children through its "Coppini Kids" program, and a "master class" in drawing for kids 11 - 17. As if this isn't enough, it offers workshops for members and the public, taught by popular and world-class artists who come in from across the country. If an artist is focused on representational art, the Coppini is a great place to investigate!

My favorite thrift in the spot is the books. They are very reasonably priced and you can get quite a few or under a dollar, which is pretty impossible in a lot of other thrift stores. The staff here is friendly and helpful. They have a little boutique section in the front where they keep the newer clothing with tags, and more designer wise items. I do think some of their prices are on the higher end, which is disappointing when you're trying to get some affordable items. Clothing, however, it's usually reduced, so along with the books a good purchase. Not so much their purses, and some of their other accessories. It's worth a visit to search through their treasures and find some good thrifts. This is not my favorite thrift store, but it will be some of the goodwill prices in a pinch.
