Why is there a fence, caution tape or a closed sign in parts of the park? In an effort to help stop the spread of COVID-19,
Mayor Corbin Van Arsdale issued an Order closing all City-owned and/or HOA operated playground equipment, playscapes, pools, splash pads, pavilions, exercise equipment and drinking water fountains within the City of Cedar Park
.
For your safety and the safety of others, please respect any fencing, caution tape or signs and do not enter these closed areas.
|
|
While community-use park equipment within City limits is currently closed, you're still able to go for a walk/run/bike ride on trails. Please make sure to keep your social distance of at least 6 feet from those not in your household.

"I am a 75 year old, with underlying health problems. In the last week I have had 5 of my younger neighbors volunteer to get groceries or any other item that I require. It thoroughly warms my heart that these young, caring, professional, neighbors will take time out of their busy lives to assist an older neighbor. I can not thank them enough. We have a very caring community and I thank them all." -Margaret
