The Old Settlers Park build-out project began in September to renovate and expand the park. Round Rock City Council will vote on three contracts to move and expand gas lines associated with the project at its meeting Nov. 7.

The gist

The build-out project is funded by 2023 voter-approved bonds and includes features such as a new Lakeview pavilion.

Future plans for the park also include:
  • Upgrades to Rock’N River water park, including additional parking
  • Civil and electrical upgrades for built-in infrastructure for events
  • Expanding the Multipurpose Complex, including six new fields
  • Expanding the Adult Recreation Complex, relocating the tennis complex and pickleball courts
Looking ahead

Three reimbursement agreements with Atmos Energy Company would extend the main 6-inch gas line as well as get service to the new projects.


The main gas line would be extended under Kenney Fort Boulevard to provide service to Rock’N River water park and the new recreation center and administration center. A gas line that currently runs through the Multipurpose Complex would be rerouted.

The cost of the three projects totals almost $1.6 million. An additional 20% contingency would be included in the contract with Atmos Energy, with many leftover funds being returned to the city.
