    Fire pit

    Lovely stay over the holiday! Really great camping experience here. We rented an Improved Camping site for our 30 ft RV with electric and water hook up. there was a dumping station at the park but not at the individual camp sites, I liked that. We arrived to a zen garden raked sandy spot with picnic table, fire pit enclosed, and lantern holder-handicapped accessible. a beautiful view from spot 5, several other campers stopped at our site to snap pics of our view during the stay. Amazing walking trails, well kept roads / clean and modern facilities, there was firewood for sale, dog walking bag stations, and clear signage through the park. This spot and the park staff / camp host were very friendly, cool people and present - not in your business but there for anything you may need. We spent 10 days here and it felt like our home away home right away. Near by enough, to lots of possible shopping and commerce opportunity, we even had some door dash food delivered at one point, and another order from Lowe's but the park and the experience truly is tucked away in this sweet spot.

    We didn't get to explore much here before having to turn back. Like one of the previous reviewers there were confusing signs for the trails. We accidentally stumbled onto the main center. The bathrooms were clean tho. And yes those stairs are really high. It was too hot to travel too much more as there's no canopy on the trail, or at least the one we were on. I did get to see some horses which was cool though. I'll try again in cooler weather.

    Visited 10 days after grand opening, July 2023, this park will soon be a hotspot. 3 lots total with ample amount of parking in all. Visited on a Saturday and was the only vehicle in two of the lots. It does cost to get in, but they do accept credit cards. At the time of entry it was $4 for adults. Large variety of trails. Beginner friendly as most were flat, but some were long. The map was well crafted and easy to follow. I would say more signage definitely is needed as I got to point of interest number nine, there was nothing to be established that I had made it. Literally, it was just a rough patch of grass. The improved camping includes 24 lots all with a picnic table and a grill. All were vacant at the time of visit, except one. Overall the park is well maintained and up kept because it is brand new.

    First the good stuff - We saw a flock of wild turkey just off the Prairie Trail (about 20-30). They flew in across the meadow and lighted just at the tree-line. We also saw a bald Eagle. At first we were sure it was a Caracara because it was perched near a culture, but as we got closer it became clear it was an eagle. The interpretive center is very nice. Be careful if you walk out front though as what looks like steps is a ledge. Not sure how that passed inspection, as it needs railing. I was told I am not the first person to step off of it by mistake. Nice camping areas. There are three levels of Camping. 1. Full hook-ups. 2. Drive-up and walk in. 3. Hike in (although the hike is only 1/2 mile on a well maintained dirt road. We decided to make reservations for next month at one of the drive-up/walk-in sites to see how it is. Restrooms - Squeaky clean. Main facilities are perfect. There are also several pit toilets throughout the park. Nicest pit toilets I have ever encountered. Nice play ground near a large pavillion. The Bad: We hiked 6 miles of "trails" today. I can't say whether or not the rest of the park is this way, but every inch of the six miles we hiked was on very well maintained dirt roads. All but a couple of places could be traversed by a Honda Prius. So, not really trails. The trail signs. We joked that whoever created these signs had never hiked a day in their life. We even gave them a name - "The Trail Riddler". Because 1/2 of the signs were truly a riddle to figure out. The poop: This is an equestrian park that allows pedestrians to hike the trails. To be fair, not every trail allows horses. Because of all the horse poop, no one is really inclined to pick up their dog poop. So you get to deal with both. Verdict - We will be going back again. Will be camping this time and we will knock off the remaining 14 miles of "trails". I will update this review once I have completed all the trails. BoR

    A good place for outdoors activities. These include cycling, walking, running and taking pictures…read more The trails are wide and fairly easy to walk. They connect several parks where restrooms and parking are available. There are also playgrounds, picnic tables, tennis courts and even splash parks along the way. Dogs are also welcome. The dog stations are supplied with waste bags and trash cans. Additional benefits of coming here include fresh air, peace of mind, good aromas, wild life and beautiful sights. So if you need something to do, then stop by and get caught up In the fun. You could even meet a friend while getting a good dose of Vitamin D.

    I absolutely love this trail. This trail is so extensive and pretty. This review is really for the…read moreportion of the trail in Round Rock that starts from AW Grimes and ends at Redbud Ln. I think it's important to download a map that outlines the whole trail. There are parts when you think it ends but it actually detours and continues. One of these parts is at Kenny Fort Blvd, the trail really goes an additional two miles east if you start at The Rabb House on AW Grimes. The doggo loves this trail and the shade it provides. There are some awesome benches to stop, rest and enjoy the sights and sounds of the creek. There are also plenty of poop bag stations and fountains along the way. I absolutely love these Round Rock trails and we visit often. Just be prepared for a crowd during the weekend.

    Garey Park is an absolute gem!…read more We celebrated my son's birthday at Garey Park a couple of months ago, and I can't say enough good things about the experience. From the moment we booked to the minute we packed up, everything was smooth, easy, and honestly kind of perfect. The park is stunning and has so much to do. So much space, beautiful scenery, and tons of options for kids to run wild . My son had the best time celebrating with his friends. Between the playground, splash pad, and shaded picnic areas, the kids were entertained the entire time. No one was bored, not even for a second. There's something really special about this place. It feels like you're in the middle of nature but with all the modern conveniences nearby. It made the whole party feel relaxed and joyful.

    Please ignore the other reviews. Many people seem frustrated and upset about the fees, but there's…read morea good reason for them! Those fees help maintain this BEAUTIFUL park, which offers tons of activities for families with kids and dogs. The bathrooms were quite clean and stocked with toilet paper. The playground was filled with kids having a great time. We enjoyed walking the trails along the San Gabriel River, and our dogs had a blast! They even have horseback riding and zip lines, along with numerous trails to explore! We've visited free dog parks throughout Austin, Leander, and Cedar Park, and they often end up neglected and trashy! I completely understand why they want to keep this place clean and welcoming!
