Old Settlers Park is the City’s largest park and hosts several youth and amateur sports leagues. The park’s several hundred acres provide space for several recreational options such as disc golf, cricket, 20-field baseball complex, five-field softball complex, soccer facilities and more. It is also where Rock’N River and the Multipurpose Complex are located, and several of the City’s large special events are held.
This page will continue to be updated with progress photos, traffic alerts and more.
Learn more about the specific projects approved by voters in Old Settlers Park below by clicking on the name of the project:
Athletic Performance Center — Following a Needs Assessment in 2021, the City is constructing an indoor gym, outdoor track and four multipurpose fields. The site will also provide additional parking in Old Settlers Park and accommodate administrative functions for the Parks and Recreation Department, which are currently housed in Downtown Round Rock.
Rock’N River Expansion — This project will include construction of additional water features and more parking. It will also tie the Rock’N River water park into the new recreational center for improved logistics.
Lakeview Pavilion — A permanent stage has been added for special events such as Juneteenth, Fourth of July and Light up the Lake, replacing the previous Lakeview Pavilion with a larger structure. It also includes a new, larger restroom facility, replacement playground and extensive civil and electrical upgrades to allow for built-in infrastructure for special events.
Multipurpose Complex Expansion — The 60-acre outdoor Multipurpose Complex opened in 2017 and draws thousands of spectators from across the country each year. Of the events and practices held there over the past year, approximately 75% were local teams and 25% were out-of-town/sports tourism-focused. This project will construct six additional fields and collegiate-level press boxes to provide more space for local team practices and draw additional tournaments for sports tourism.
Tennis and Pickleball Courts — The project includes relocation of the previous tennis complex to the Adult Recreation Complex at the corner of TC Oatts Lane and Red Bud Lane. The site also includes dedicated pickleball courts, shade structures, and additional parking.
