Thomas F. Riley Wilderness Park

Had a great walk here the other day and was able to get out of the sight line of houses and enjoy the natural surroundings for a bit. The park is small, relatively unknown and gets little traffic. The park has almost finished a new entrance that will make it more accessible and visible from the road.

Very pretty and large park that's close by the residential areas with easy to walk trails. You can probably park somewhere other than the lot to avoid the $3 parking. Also, the trail that runs by Oso Parkway is under construction so I recommend taking the one that looks like it leads into the center of the park. It's open until sunset, I believe, despite the parking passes saying 5:30 PM. Of course, if you park outside of the lot I don't think it matters much.
