Parks and Trails

Lake Pflugerville Park

4. The Pflugerville Parks and Recreation Department have plans to build new structures around Lake Pflugerville, including a group pavilion, covered picnic locations, a boat launch along with new parking. Additional recreational activity facilities will include a swimming area and a place to rent non-motorized marine vehicles such as paddle boats, canoes and kayaks. The city will also plant numerous trees to beautify the area.
The project will cost an estimated $750,000. Two grants have already been made for the project, including one for $200,000 from the Lower Colorado River Authority. The other grant is for $100,000 from the Pflugerville Community Development Corporation. The remaining funding will be determined during upcoming city council meetings.
5. Also under construction is a new park behind Hendrickson High School that will open by the end of October. This park, funded by Newland Communities, will include an 18-hole disc golf course, playground, small lake with surrounding granite trail, open play fields and shaded picnic benches with barbecue grills. The city intends to plant many new trees around the area.
6. The City of Pflugerville Parks and Recreation Department also has park land off Weiss Lane next to the Reserve at Westcreek. Future plans include a possible hiking trail.
