About the Project
Round Rock City Council unanimously approved the design of a master plan for more park land and trail connectivity in Downtown Round Rock on March 9, 2023. The $277,834 contract with design firm Design Workshop will include design of a proposed project situated along Brushy Creek on the north side of Downtown Round Rock. Round Rock officials have acquired several pieces of land to build the proposed park and tie the future Heritage Trail to Sheppard Street/Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Way to bring pedestrians and cyclists into Downtown. The proposed project is expected to also give officials the opportunity to address stormwater issues in the area.
Note: The floodplain above is a future land donation, and does not include any land outside of the floodplain.

Project Funding
Funding for the design of the master plan will come from the City’s general self-financed construction fund. The construction of the Downtown park at Brushy Creek was one of the proposed projects outlined in the Parks, Recreation and Sports proposition in the City’s May 6, 2023 bond election.
