Hiking & Biking Trails<\/h2>\n
Brushy Creek Regional Trail<\/h3>\n
The Brushy Creek Regional Trail<\/a> connects Round Rock and Cedar Park with crushed granite and paved trails, passing through city parks, playgrounds, and scenic wooded areas. This approximately 10-mile trail starts at 15300 Staked Plains Loop, Austin, TX 78717 and ends at Brushy Creek Regional Trail, Round Rock, TX 78681. Brushy Trail East extends eastward past this portion of the trail, ending at Forest Creek Playground.<\/p>\n This popular trail is loved by hikers and cyclists for its accessible and manageable terrain, amenities like water fountains and bathrooms, and scenic views and wildlife along the way.<\/p>\n You'll pass along crushed stone on the western portion and on a paved trailway along the eastern portion. Great for families, Brushy Creek Trail travels to many parks from Twin Lakes Park, to Brushy Creek Lake Park, to Champion Park. Visitors will also encounter playgrounds, swimming areas, picnic tables, splashpads, and beautiful flora and fauna.<\/p>\n Brushy Creek is one of the best maintained parks in the county. If you're looking to live next to one of Round Rock's best amenities, check out The Creek Apartments<\/a>, located right next to the trailhead.<\/p>\n This paved path starts at McNeil Road in Round Rock West, then goes north and loops around near Lake Creek. It's about 2 total miles out and back. While there are no scenic views, Round Rock West Greenbelt is a perfect path for an easy walk or quick bike ride in the safety of a path away from the roads.<\/p>\n Chisholm Trail Crossing Park<\/a> marks where Round Rock was founded. Chisholm Trail was famously a cattle trail in the late 1800s. Traders would move cattle across Brushy Creek on a limestone rock, which later gave name to the newly commercialized town, Round Rock.<\/p>\n Today, Chisholm Trail Crossing is a city park with flowing clear creek water, fish and wildlife, and statues to commemorate the crossing's history. Walk along paved pathways and boardwalks along the creek and toward Brushy Creek Trail, if you choose to continue your journey toward the eastern end of Round Rock.<\/p>\n Here we have the city's crown jewel, Old Settlers Park<\/a>. Its 670 acres of land include sports fields, trails, playgrounds, disc golf, picnic barbecue areas, and more. Many of Round Rock's holiday and community events are hosted at Old Settlers.<\/p>\n If you're looking for a nice place to walk, the park provides about 3 miles of paved pathways, including a loop around the Soil Conservation Reservoir. If you're looking for a field to play sports, whether it's football, soccer, or cricket, it's likely you will find it here. Families enjoy taking their kids to the seven playgrounds located on the property.<\/p>\n The Play for All Abilities Park<\/a> is a popular destination for families or those looking for a well-maintained outdoor path to walk on.<\/p>\n This impressive park includes eight different sections developed for specific types of play. From sensory processing, to wheeled activity, to a miniature village and car wash station, kids and those with disabilities are encouraged to develop life skills in a fun and interactive way.<\/p>\n Memorial Park<\/a> is located on the other side of I-35 from Chisholm Trail Crossing Park. Its 14.11 acres of land include picnic tables with grills, a trail along Brushy Creek, and playgrounds.<\/p>\n Visitors can walk along paved trails, go fishing, play on the baseball field, and enjoy the serene atmosphere created by waterfalls and wide open green space.<\/p>\n In Round Rock, Dell Diamond<\/a> is a gathering place and anchor for family entertainment. Though the baseball season only runs for half the year, Dell Diamond also hosts concerts, festivals, and other sports events.<\/p>\n Visitors can watch the Round Rock Express play March through September and check out Home Run Dugout, a bar and restaurant featuring a baseball simulator overlooking the field.<\/p>\n Kalahari Resorts provides a major attraction for families and young adults in Round Rock.

Located inside Old Settlers Park and run by the City of Round Rock, it offers a more affordable and relaxed atmosphere than Kalahari.<\/p>\n Visitors can bring coolers and their own food while enjoying the many pools, cliff jumping, rock climbing, kiddie splashpad, and on-site food trucks.<\/p>\n Round Rock's Centennial Plaza is an outdoor pavilion hosting live music performances, festivals, and celebrations for the community and private groups..<\/p>\n The community joins on the lawn for concerts, bat watching, and art fairs.
