Nice area for younger kids (with canopy). A fun carousel to spin in. See saw. A spinning pod. Tandem swings and harness swings. The best part is the three zip lines. My kids loved them. Lake is nice to have nearby and you can easily add a short walk to your playground outing. Not much shade here so plan accordingly! Lots of parking.

We took our littles…read morefishing here for the first time and loved the large, spacious pier-- we brought our whole setup: chairs, umbrella and wagon, and still left plenty of room for other fishing families. We loved that the pier was far and secluded enough from the playscapes so it wouldn't distract our littles, and the kids at play wouldn't disturb the fish* ;). The playscapes were covered and nicely spread out with many fun play zones and structures (including two zip lines). The park has well-kept grassy spaces, walkways and restrooms, and you can even rent kayaks and pavilions with tables for parties. We had the best time and can't wait to return! I would highly recommend this park for your next family fun day or gathering. *We didn't see or catch any fish.

The park is not massive but more than enough area for all types of activities. The park is split between three sections. 1. Covered seating/rec area 2. Small Kids 3. Bigger Kids We loved knowing that our 2 year old could enjoy all the activities while also knowing that most of the bigger kids would be on the other side of the park. My only small negative is that some of the flooring is coming up in areas. I don't think it makes it any more dangerous, but it could get worse over time. I highly recommend this spot for kids and parents.

I didn't feel like my niece was in the mix with bigger kids...everyone was in her age group. My only issue is that the parking lot seemed really small. At least where I parked. I was nervous backing out of my space. And there seemed to be one way in and one way out. I'm new to the area, so anyone let me know if I'm missing the extra areas to park and to leave. But I will most definitely bring my niece here again.

This park is a very popular place for Cedar Park residents because of the huge extensive playscape area for the kids. It also features a pavillion and has well maintained public bathrooms. Everything about this park looks recently built and it appears more construction is coming. There is tons of parking here and lots of covered picnic table space along with some grills. This is the only park I have seen where you'll find zip lines incorporated into the children's playscape area. This place has all the bells and whistles you could hope for, except for a swimming pool. There is a nice paved pathway that runs around the park and continues across the Muir Lake dam (aka Upper Brushy Creek Dam) and includes a large sports field acreage on the opposite side. There's no swimming allowed in the lake and you probably wouldn't want to anyway. However, they do rent kayaks and have a launch point on the lake. In the spring time this park comes alive with bluebonnets and other native flowers. The size of this park is enormous, and is capable of accommodating thousands of visitors. This park is worth seeking out due to all its amenities even if you don't live in Cedar Park. The photos included add much more to the narrative.

We returned to the station and looked around, there's picnic tables, and a small playground as well as a small train ride with kiddie powered trains on a short track. All in all, well worth a visit!!

So you're not in the sun at all during the summer, when you come out next to a park that has soccer about basketballs, tennis goals.All kinds of stuff to do around you. We will definitely be bringing our daughter out for the years to come

You can engage in a number of water sports such as fishing, boating or skiing. One of the key aspect of Brushy Creek Lake Park that I like is viewing the water at sunrise or sunset. The way the sunlight dances over the water brings any day's distraction to a complete halt. The adjacent greenery and natural beauty makes Brushy Creek Lake Park memorable and enjoyable. Sometimes with a fast-paced life, it is important to stop and smell the roses. In this case, it is important to stop and listen the ripples of the water at Lake Brushy Creek Park. In addition, to the lake itself and the lush surrounding greenery, there is also a park area with picnic tables where you can enjoy the great outdoors. Nearby is a family friendly playground for children.

The main trail is wide and paved, which is great for biking, running, or just walking the dog. The lake itself is super peaceful--I highly recommend renting a kayak or bringing a paddleboard out on a weekend morning. If you've got kids, the playground and splash pad are fantastic, especially when it's blazing hot outside. There are also plenty of shady spots and picnic tables by the water to just hang out and feed the ducks. Just a heads up, parking can be a nightmare on Saturdays when the weather is nice, so try to get here before 9 AM if you can. Otherwise, it's a super clean, well-maintained park that never really gets old. Definitely worth checking out.

The fireworks show alone was worth the entire trip and wait. It was far better than the 4th of July. In fact it was so good I can't even imagine what the 4th of July for Cedar Park has in store for fireworks. And I'm going to guess that what they've done in the past has been great. Okay, so they had live music all night long. They had carnival game. They had carnival rides. Balloon pops frog toss. The bag slide. The spinner ride. 3 free bounce houses. The hamster ball. Also known as zorb balls. Mechanical bull. Wipeout. Rock wall climbing. Bungee bouncing. Roasted corn. Hot dogs, hamburgers, chips, pickles, funnel cakes. Snow cones, water, soda, tea. A gymnastics show. And a firework show that pretty much just beat all. Everything was almost reasonably priced. It can get pricey with more than one child. Especially if a family of four is wanting to do each event. It's worth doing a couple but for the type of events I don't like forking over too much cash for that. The crowd was more than pleasant. The lines were not long. Everybody was a pleasure to be around. All the staff and volunteers were all very friendly and sweet. Justin nice atmosphere all the way around. The festival lasted from 5 p.m. To 8:30 p.m.. The firework show start promptly at 830. It lasted until 8 53. 23 minutes of absolutely astonishing fireworks. Let's not forget about the kickass park they have. With a multitude of climbing pieces. A slide that will knock you on your butt. And a swimming pool what the water playground for the kids and a slide for bigger kids and adults. My family and I had the time of our life out there today. We got there around 1:30 p.m. And we stayed until 9 p.m.. It was a blast. The firework show im still talking about it. It was just really great. I can't wait till next year. This will be an annual event for us. I wish we had been the last 5 years. But I'm grateful I found out about it and we got to go get here. And I'm very much looking forward to next year.
