4. Enjoy some family fun at Old Settlers Park

Round Rock’s Old Settlers Park is the city’s crown jewel. As a well-known sports destination in the youth and amateur sports leagues, the park’s 645 acres provide ample space for all of your recreational pursuits.

Kids can also play on the playground or cast a line in the lake nearby.

10. Check out THE Round Rock at Brushy Creek Crossing

Take a journey back in time with us. In 1851, a small community was formed on the banks of Brushy Creek, near a large round rock located in the middle of the creek. This round rock marked a convenient low-water crossing for wagons, horses, and cattle. Located near Chisholm Trail Street, Brushy Creek holds a piece of Round Rock’s rock-solid history.
