Round Rock City Council will vote to amend the maximum price for the Rock’N River water park expansion at its meeting Dec. 19. The $19.3 million expansion is a part of the bigger Old Settlers Park buildout project.

What’s happening

Round Rock contracted SpawGlass to work on the Old Settlers buildout, including the water park expansion. New features for the water park include a “total action” river, a VIP section with space for rental and an additional pool. The city has plans to keep the original water park open while constructing the new additions.

The buildout for the water park will take about 14 months, with plans to start construction in January. This portion of Old Settlers park also includes about 160 additional parking spaces.

“It’s going to be a beautiful little park once it’s done,” General Services Director Chad McDowell said at an agenda packet briefing Dec. 17.

• A new Lakeview Pavilion
• 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

McDowell says the project is currently on schedule and on budget.

“When you talk about this big of a project, trying to maintain this schedule is not an easy task,” he said.
