This project will include a park along Brushy Creek on the north side of Downtown Round Rock, settled on more than 20-plus acres that have been acquired by the City of Round Rock. In addition to development of the park, this project includes additional land acquisition and a bridge to connect users of the Brushy Creek Trail to Downtown.
Design Workshop is currently leading the construction documentation and administration phase for the Lawn at Brushy Creek project. The contractor has already completed a schematic design for the park and engaged with the public through several open houses.
The overall project includes extending a new trail called Heritage Trail East along the north side of the creek and providing a pedestrian bridge connection to land located near the Ruby Hotel (304 Fannin Ave.), providing a connection into Downtown Round Rock.
The first phase of the project will focus on the pedestrian bridge and an 11-acre portion of the park located on the south side of the creek, which is anticipated to include active and passive play elements, overlooks, boardwalks, an amphitheater, potential kayak launch, great lawn, playground, pavilion, regeneration of creek edges and a focus on preserving existing natural elements and resources of the site.
A construction schedule has not yet been set pending completion of construction documentation, which is expected in 2025. Round Rock City Council will be required to award the bid for construction at a future public meeting.
