Round Rock began the second phase of Harrell Parkway construction March 3 as part of the larger Old Settlers Park build-out project, according to a city news release. The construction will change traffic patterns in the area for approximately eight months.

What residents need to know

While construction continues, the northern section of Harrell Parkway between Aten Loop and Old Settlers Boulevard will remain open to southbound traffic only.

Park facilities will stay open to the public, with some impact to entrance routes:

• To reach the multipurpose field complex, visitors can enter from North Kenney Fort Boulevard.
• To reach the soccer fields, cricket fields, disc golf, and Rabb pavilion and playground, visitors can enter from the Hwy. 79 and Harrell Parkway intersection.
• To reach the baseball fields, softball fields and Yonders point, visitors can enter from Aten Loop or North Red Bud Lane.
• To reach the tennis complex, apex fields and triple crown fields, visitors may use Harrell Parkway and must exist the complex through Aten Loop.

Visitors can also refer to this closure map for guidance.

About the project

Old Settlers Park began renovations in September 2024, funded by 2023 voter-approved bonds. Upon completion, the new park will have upgrades that include a new pavilion, stage and amphitheater, as well as a playground, expanded recreational areas, roadway renovations for safety and pedestrian crossings, pedestrian bridges, and improved sports courts.
