Find Parks and Trails with the new webpage

I’ve been trying to work out more, but recently the treadmill has lost its spark. I have found it hard to run in place looking at a wall, so I decided it was time to go out and run one of the trails in Round Rock.

I went to the Greater Lake Creek Trail because it was conveniently located next to the Clay Madsen Recreation Center. (This trail is also going to be part of the 5k for Clay route and I wanted to check it out.) Its a nice scenic trail with lots of shade that goes to A.W. Grimes, by Lake Creek and into Lake Creek Park. I had fun running the trail and it was a great change of pace to my workout. I definitely suggest checking it out.

The City of Round Rock Parks and Recreation also has other parks and trails that you can check out, I know I plan to. Parks and Recreation just created this new webpage that helps find a trail, park or place for an activity quickly. Visit www.roundrocktexas.gov/parksandrec and look under the Parks and Trails tab to find information about the parks and trails.
