Fritz got the refresh it truly needed. It's THE park of Hutto now. After delays and delays and…read moredelays, it looks like Fritz Park's construction has wrapped, and with all the construction fences down, we can all explore what Fritz Park has to offer. One of the biggest sellers to families is the new splash pad, which, compared to other splash pads in Hutto, actually works. I don't think that's a hard ask, but at this point it's worth a celebration. In addition, there's a new all-wheels track, which is a slick-designed skate track for boards and bikes, a looping half-mile trail around the park that connects to the Cottonwood Creek Trail, a small stage with turf, cornhole, a great pond, and a sensory garden with objects to touch and fiddle with, the already existing basketball court and gazebo, and plenty of single-use family/all-gender bathrooms, which I think is great. If you gotta go, just pick a door. Lastly, there are two playgrounds for the younger kids and older kids. The younger kids' playground has musical instruments, swings, and other safe activities, while the older kids' playground has a rope climber, some American Ninja Warrior obstacle course, monkey bars, and more. It's pretty sick even for an adult. The slides on it are also pretty intense and adventurous. It's slick. Overall, I will be coming back to Fritz many, many times for as long as I'm in Hutto because it feels like a great space for community and just a fun spot overall. I will enjoy diverging from my runs on the Cottonwood Creek Trail to take a little detour through the newly renovated park. RIYL: A third space worth the visit

Perfectly alright park in Elgin. It's got green grass and plenty of space to walk around with a few…read morepaths. Definitely not huge or expansive or anything, but not small either. So if you're looking for a place to walk your dog, it'd be good, but not if you're looking for a hike or place to run. (Note the rules request dogs be kept on leash while visiting, though I saw most people not obeying this rule.) A small stream winds through the middle of the park with a couple of bridges to help cross it. It's not so pretty as to be called "picturesque," but it does add a little visual interest to an otherwise grassy expanse. The bathrooms were the only facility I utilized on my visit. There are four gender-neutral single-occupant stalls-- no sinks, just toilets, so you won't be able to wash your hands. Bring your own hand sanitizer. However there is a water fountain and bottle refill station there too. There is a large awning over a concrete slab with multiple picnic tables which can be used for gatherings like birthday parties and the like. By no means "fancy," but serviceable. There are trash cans, no recycling. A fun mural of Starry Night over Elgin is there too, though some hooligan recently graffitti'd over some of it, sadly. I did notice some volleyball courts at the east end of the park, as well as what looked like a pretty nice play structure / swing set that many children were actively enjoying. I also spotted a couple of those "mailbox libraries" where you take-a-book-leave-a-book. =)

Newest park in Cedar Park in the wonderful Bell District! This park just opened this week with…read morelimited amenities. The city is still working on park expansion, including a paved trail that takes you through the forest. This park is different from other parks in the area due to its close proximity next to the new Cedar Park library and the varied landscape. Much of the grass and forest is roped off to allow for proper time for growth and keeping nature natural. There are outdoor restrooms though they were closed when I went. They also have water fountains, a pavilion, and many picnic tables to study, eat, or just enjoy a conversation. Not much road noise can be heard from Bell Blvd, if any. The park is located adjacent to parking and the library so expect some noise. Parking looks to be very limited as street parking is offered. No immediate parking lots could be seen at time of writing. The trail extends from a sidewalk entrance on Bell Blvd and winds through the Bell District, linking up with Bell Park as it continues on into the forest. Many pet waste stations line the trail. As mentioned, the grass and trees are still establishing so the green areas of the park can't be used at the moment. But the barebones of what this park has now promises an eventful gathering space for generations to come. I can't wait for the future developments to come for this park!

This park is phenomenal. I must have told my husband and kids that I loved this park like 20 times. I think it's seriously the best playground I've been to. By the way, I noticed some photos here from a few years ago showing a much more simple playground. It looks like they gave it a full makeover and thank goodness for that! KIDS' EQUIPMENT: The play equipment is divided into zones -- one for smaller toddlers and one for older kids. They're both really great. I was particularly impressed with the equipment for younger kids because that's usually the most lacking at many playgrounds. The main playscape had the usual steps and slide but what made it stand out was all the little interactive add-ons. The designers used every opportunity (railing or wall) to add some sort of interactive element like a sliding ring or moving shape. In addition to the main playscape, there was a little igloo (watch out: a wasp was building a nest inside -- I'm going to try to email the district about it), a see saw, a little spinning chair, and more. Oh and there's a canopy over the main playscape which is great. The larger playscape for older kids was excellent as well. There were so many opportunities for climbing -- the net was super cool. Just like the smaller playscape, this was so rich in interactive elements. PARENTS' EQUIPMENT: This playground seriously has fitness machines. I was floored. Not just like a bar for pull-ups. Three machines. This is brilliant. So you can let your (presumably older, requiring less supervision) kids play while you exercise. TRAIL: There is a short trail that continues from the playground. We didn't walk it but instead crossed the street to take the Brightwater Trail. This passes through the Butterfly Garden and continues to Hairy Man Road. It's a short walk but very pleasant. The butterfly garden is small but lovely. PARKING: Small (but sufficient) lot with some shaded spots.

There's also an exercise area, swings and paved trails. This park is also monitored with security cameras. The trail itself runs behind many of the homes in the area and eventually leads into a larger green space where it turns into a circular gravel trail where you'll find some picnic tables and benches under the trees. Much attention has been paid to the grounds care and there's even a raised rest area with two benches. There are even some plant identification markers along the trail explaining the flora and fauna. The trail here does not connect up to any other trails. It just spits you out into a neighborhood where you can walk or bike to two neighboring parks several blocks away called Cheatham and Friendly Oaks Park. This large patch of green space and play area are a great asset to the local community as the 10 photos below attest.

It is just another addition to the 28 mile, or so, loop around Lake Georgetown. I like to park at Overlook Park and walk over here. Lots of beautiful scenery with Blue Hole, that famous hole that never dries up, just a mile or so from San Gabriel Park. Booty's is home to the John Ischy Archeological Site which is protected by the North Rim of the San Gabriel, which I've yet to find. Also home to Booty's is the Georgetown Challenge Course. Along the trail from Booty's to San Gabriel Park are a couple of cool spots for bird watching and star gazing, and, of course the challenge course. Lots of the trail is lighted and offers three different surface areas like concrete, crushed granite, and, asphalt. It's beautiful and peaceful. Please help keep it that way. This park is isolated with only one way in by vehicle, but, several options by foot. Whether or not you do the full 28 miles around the lake, you will enjoy yourself here. Not only can you get your exercise on, but, this is a beautiful place to just come and veg out, read a book, or have a picnic. There is also a large covered pavilion that would be great for large gatherings. Booty's is good for the entire family, and, of course dogs. Please scoop your poop.
