Small park that offers access to hiking trails (I believe it's the Brushy Creek Trail and maybe some smaller trails as well). There's a very small playground -- it's meant for younger kids (closer to 2) and doesn't have much to offer. Could definitely expand this area. However, the swings here are GREAT. Very tall and perfect for kids that want to swing higher. Additionally, there is a cute little dinosaur bone play area. My 17-month-old enjoyed it -- just watch the small toddlers closely because it's easy to bonk their heads. Easy parking in the large lot. There are multiple other parks with bigger playgrounds just a few minutes away, FYI (Brushy Creek, Olson Meadows) so you can easily park hop. read more

A great place to begin your walk, hike, run, or bike ride. Dogs are allowed, so you can bring them too. There are a few play sets for kids to enjoy, as well as a lot of sand. Additionally, there is a covered area to have a picnic or just to get out of the rain. I know that never happens. It also has plenty of parking and even bathrooms that are open to the public. I have always enjoyed passing through or beginning my routine here at Champion Park. read more

Brushy Creek Park overshadows this park. This park offers beauty and a chance to get away from the crowds at Brushy Creek Park. My family and I saw that this park has a tall drinking fountain that looks like one of those splash pads. 4 stars! read more

This is a nice park with a lot of trails that are mostly packed which is nice if you have any mobility issues. Parking was easy. If I had any concerns it's that bikers dont really give pedestrians the right of way on the trails so you'll have to move to the side of the paths pretty often. read more

Love, love, LOVE this park. I almost hate to gush about it here for fear that it will be overrun and we'll have to share all the awesomeness. Those Williamson County folks know what they're doing when it comes to planning their park system. Champion Park is the 2nd in a series of well maintained parks along the Brushy Creek Regional Trail that follows its namesake from roughly Parmer Lane (aka CR 734) to Great Oaks Drive. Visitors of all ages will find something to do here. You've got fields for running free; miles of trails for jogging, biking, and strolling; swings for swinging (including 2 bucket swings for the little ones); rocks for climbing; a humongous sandpit for digging; fake dinosaur bones for excavating (and the tools to do that); and shaded areas for escaping the sun's unrelenting rays. Oh, and the best part for warm weather, a cool run-through fountain shaped like a giant whale skeleton (touch the blue pole to get the water started; runs till 7p). There's also a large pavilion with picnic tables and BBQ pits that can be reserved for a fee. Every time we visit this park, we run into happy people and interesting sights. Once, a rocket club was shooting off their creations in a field of homemade planets laid out to represent our solar system. Last time, a paraglider flew overhead while a guy played with his frisbee-catching dog. Open 7:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. Tip: Eat an early dinner or take a picnic and visit the park from 6-7p; you'll have the playscape areas almost all to yourself! read more

Champion Park, named, I believe, for a Queen song, is located just about halfway along the 6.75 mile Brushy Creek Regional Trail in the hinterlands between Cedar Park and Round Rock. Another reviewer had it right. It does look kind of sparse. But, I concede that it is great for a couple of target audiences: Gatherings/Birthday Parties for the "under 6" crowd, and decent-sized family gatherings. Originally, I thought the park had a volleyball court that had it's net stolen. But the young ones will love the large kitty litter bo.... errrr.... covered sand pit, where tools can be used to unearth the buried "dinosaur artifacts". The dino-themed climbing area (see pic), set on spongy wood-chip covered ground is also great for that age. And the smallish "splash pad" can cool folks off (with current water restrictions, three days a week) through the summer months. The sturdy stone and sheet-metal covered pavilion is really in two parts. So really, one LARGE party, or two moderately decently sized family picnics can take place reasonably sheltered from the mid-day summer sun. If you have teens in the group, they can "disappear" up the combination crushed granite and paved hiking/biking path that runs alongside the park, exploring the adjacent Brushy Creek, locating poison ivy, and otherwise disappearing for longer than you're probably comfortable with while the younger ones enjoy the inevitable cake and subsequent piñata. It probably could use a full-blown playscape for the gradeschoolers, but maybe that's just part of its charm. Maybe this park is just targeted for the younger ones, who won't feel bullied by older kids stomping around, who will instead go to one of the other nearby parks more age-appropriate for them. 3.62 stars. read more

Great place to take the kids (human or fur babies). Plenty of activities to do with various kid play areas. Adults and older children can walk, jog, run, walk pets, ride bikes, ride those motorized bikes (#cheating #notabicycle). Well maintained. Can reserve pavilions for parties and bbq. read more

Really great place to walk, bike, jog, etc. Definitely dog and kid friendly. They also have kayak rentals! I was impressed with how big this place is and would love to check out what it's like to come out and rent a kayak over the summer. I really liked that there were plenty of benches to enjoy a picnic lunch as well as enough trash cans around to throw things away. read more

Love this park! They have a great dinosaur bone climbing area, sand area, and splash pad. There are lots of areas with shade for parents to sit, but sunscreen is still needed. This park is right next to another one that has a larger splash pad. They have great trails all around park and nice restrooms for breaks. I would definitely suggest going to this park. read more

Great Park for the family to enjoy! This park has a covered play area with fake dinosaur bones hidden in the sand box, sand toys, shovels and buckets are provided by the park to allow for great fun for children of all ages. The shaded canopy protects the children from the hot sand and sun. The Discovery Sandpit play area was inspired by the discovery of the Mosasaurus Maximus fossil in 1934 by two University of Texas Students along Onion Creek. The reproduction of the fossil is cast from the original fossil. The reconstructed skeleton is located and on display at the Texas Memorial Museum. http://brigittethompson.hubpages.com/hub/Champion-Park-Williamson-County-Parks-Cedar-Park-Texas read more

I loved it!!! Has nice long trail for bikes or running walking whatever it's nice, also a dry playground fornkids, rock climbing for kids, a splashpads, a sand pit with dinosaur bones and another area where it's Dino bones up on the ground kids can play in. They have bathrooms and a place where u can hose down after a long run, only thing I'd complain about is they need shades for the parents as well. They have a big place with tables n grills, shaded, it's beautiful. We will be take our kids back soon. read more

Champion Park - Splash pad, didn't turn it on all the way - Parks Near Me - Cedar Park, Texas

I had my twins 1st birthday party here and not one child was bored. The park had enough amenities to keep everyone entertained. The pavilion was very spacious and the grill was enormous. You also your get own electricity access and water access and convenient trash can. I like this park over over the one down the street (Brushy Creek Lake Park), because it's well maintained and not crowded. The splash pad worked it's not the largest but definitely gets the job done. The only downside is there isn't a playground just regular sized swings and a couple of toddler swings. There is rock climbing and a huge covered sandbox and plenty is space and greenery. There's no water nearby to contribute to the visual ambiance. The pavilion could easily fit 30 people..Put some good food on the grill and you should be good to go! The park also has a jogging/biking trail. Not sure about hiking didn't seem like it would be apropos for hikers. Definitely a good family park if you come in the summer time you will need the splash pad which is on only Fri-Sun. read more

I ran here last Sunday morning and I just loved the trail. Very scenic and beautiful

Not for kids who want to play with play ground: like slide and etc...but good for kids who love sand and exploring! My 3 and 16 month old girls had fun for about 1 and half hour, but they wanted to play at regular park later on.. I was impressed by how clean it was ! read more

I love taking my daughter to this park. This summer, when she was around 8 months old, she had tons of fun in the sand pit and the whale sprinkler area. They provided lots of shovels and buckets for the kiddos and I love that they provide shade in the sand pit and at the picnic tables. I think my favorite part is how far away these areas are from the parking lot. It's a short walk, but with toddlers, keeping the play area further away from traffic is better. It's super stroller friendly, clean, and I can't wait until it warms up again to take her back here. read more

Always enjoy riding our bikes through the water sprinklers in the Summer or exploring the nearby area of Geocaches when we walk here. It has always been clean and a pleasant place to bring the family. read more

Great place to take your family, especially kiddos. Trails to explore. Many different play areas for kiddos from caves, playground, splash pads to discovering Dino bones in large sand area. Place is clean and well kept. read more

If you child likes splish splash parks and they are younger toddlers then this is the park for you! Great splash area - you dont have to worry about your child running off into traffic because the park is set back. It has a HUGE sand pit and a couple of swings. Really fabulous! It is a must check out - best park around! read more

I agree with all of the positive things that have been written about this park. I like that there are several play areas spread out. It's clean and has a great smooth trail to walk or ride a bike. (Perfect for pushing a stroller) I definitely recommend it as a great park for toddlers and young children. There is only one swing set with 2 swings for babies and 2 normal swings. If you're looking for playground equipment there isn't too much there. But overall it's pretty impressive! read more

Come on already finish the construction. This park needs to finish this up it's been too long. Also, it needs a tarp to cover the equipment as it gets too hot in summer in Texas after 10. read more

This is a wonderful park for young children and parents. It is very clean and well maintained. The highlights your kids will love are the sprinkler area which sprays water for kids to run through and the Dinosaur Pit, where "dinosaur bones" are covered in sand so they can be dug out. Shovels and buckets are provided by the park. I liked the shade that was provided through mesh tarps over the play areas. Lots of tables for picnicing. read more

Love this place! The kids could dig in the sand for hours- and then rinse off in the Dino sprinkler!

Splash pad. Shaded sand box with dinosaur bones. Large shaded area for parties. Trail next to the creek. Huge field of wildflowers during spring. And more. read more

This park is good for walking & jogging. The trail connects to the other park down the road, so that's nice. I bring my dog here and he gets to sniff & play on leash. There's a lot of people here on weekends & even weekday mornings, I always see a lot of children & families. read more

We live in the neighborhood so we run from home to park to play in the sand then run back. Sad that they closed the small lil blue whale splash pad to weekends only. The park is huge. Tables, grills, sandbox, small splash pad on weekends, dino bones, running trails....a great way to spend a day! read more

Sandbox and walking trail are awesome. Playground area is a little bleak. Will definitely go back.

This park is gorgeous - I only found out about it recently and took my dogs with me to check it out - it's on leash only, but they enjoyed their walk and all the scents they got to smell on their way around :) It isn't very busy, which I love as well. It's nice and quiet - peaceful. I love that there is lots of open space instead of them trying to fit in loads of unnecessary extras. I come here every chance I get. read more

Great park for the kids. My son had his 5th birthday party here and he loved it. Lots of activities for the kids to do. They can do the dinosaur dig in the sand pit, rock climbing, play in the splash pad or climb on dinosaur eggs and bones. read more

My daughter LOVES this "Dino park"! I love that the sand pit area is (somewhat) shaded and well taken care of (not full of trash or leaves/sticks). It is lacking a playscape but it has a nice splashpad and climbing areas. read more
