Round Rock progresses water park expansion

"We want to make sure that we have enough room to make sure we can view all the participants in there, and make sure we have a safe environment," Parks and Recreation Director Rick Atkins said at the meeting.

General Services Director Chad McDowell said the project is currently on schedule and on budget. The buildout for the water park will take about 14 months, with plans to break ground in February.

About the project

The Old Settlers Park buildout project began in September with construction on the Lakeview pavilion.

In addition to the Rock'N River expansion, future plans for the park include:

• Civil and electrical upgrades for built-in infrastructure for events
• Expanding the Round Rock Multipurpose Complex, including six new fields
• Expanding the Adult Recreation Complex, relocating the tennis complex and pickleball courts
• Improvements to Harrell Parkway
