Officials with the City of Cedar Park has officially broken ground on the new Lakeline Park. Located on 200 acres of parkland in southern end of the city, Lakeline Park will be the largest City of Cedar Park-owned park.
Mayor Corbin Van Arsdale said, “You can’t really have a great city without a great park. If you think about the great cities you’ve ever visited in your life they all have a great park, and now Cedar Park’s going to have a great park.”
Referring to Cedar Park’s namesake, a popular park and rail stop in the 1800s, Van Arsdale said, “Originally Cedar Park was actually named after a park 150 years ago, and now we’re going to be creating a brand new, awesome park.”
The first phase of the park focused primarily on the development of features on the north side of the park, to include:
- Multipurpose pavilion for performing arts
- Playground universal design that includes elements suitable for children of all ages, needs and abilities
- Great lawn
- Kayak launch
- A fishing pier for a lake that will be stocked
- Pavilions of varying sizes
- Multipurpose sports practice fields
- Wildflower meadows
- Restroom facilities
- Over three miles of wide concrete trails
- 400 parking spaces
- 175 overflow spaces
The total project cost is $10.3 million, with a combination of funding sources, including 2015 voter-approved General Obligation Bond funds, Type B Community Development funds, Parkland Dedication funds, Utility and Transportation funds and a grant from Texas Parks and Wildlife.
Completion is planned for summer 2022.
