Lakeline Park Phase I opens this Saturday!

Just in time for spring, the City of Cedar Park's newest park, Lakeline Park, is now open for your enjoyment! You and your family can canoe, kayak and fish on the lake, zip across the playground on a zipline, enjoy a-picnic in one of the pavilions and more!

Lakeline Park Phase I is a 2015 voter-approved bond project that includes a-2.5 mile walk-run-bike loop around the lake, a 3,000-square-feet multipurpose pavilion (our largest!) for performing arts, corporate events and larger gatherings, a-universal playground for children of all ages, needs and abilities, kayaks and canoes rental, a-fishing pier, great lawn, four miles of extra-wide concrete trails throughout the park, ten acres of-athletics fields, wildflowers meadows that are already blooming and more! There are restroom facilities-and abundant parking spaces.

Texas Parks & Wildlife will be-managing the lake and conducting a fish survey to let anglers know what kinds of fish to expect, too!

At full buildout Lakeline Park will be Cedar Park's largest park at 200 acres.

Yard Trimmings Recycling April 3-May 12

Whoop-whoop! Get ready to do some spring cleaning, as yard trimmings recycling gets underway-starting April 3. It'll run through May 12. During this time your lawn-trimmings will be collected by a separate truck for recycling instead of being taken to the landfill. Here's how it works:

• Set out an unlimited number of bags of lawn trimmings
• Bags must be paper, kept dry and weigh no more than 40 lbs. each
• Set out an unlimited number of bundles of branches
• Bundles must be no longer than 4 ft., weigh no more than 40 lbs. and branches within those bundles must be no more than 4 in. in diameter each
• Bundles and bags will be collected by a separate truck and crew on your regular trash pickup day

If your bags and bundles are missed and you followed all of the guidelines, please leave them out for crews to collect the following day.

Tree Debris Curbside Special Collection now complete!

The City's Special Curbside Debris Special Collection from Winter Storm Mara is now complete.

The total amount of debris collected ended up being an astonishing-264,686 cubic yards - equal to about 50 football fields, stacked 100 ft. high, each!

We ❤️ monarch butterflies!

At its March 23, 2023 City Council Meeting, the City of Cedar Park renewed its-Mayor's Monarch Pledge. This program was started by the National Wildlife Federation in 2015 and Cedar Park has participated annually since 2016. This program supports-monarch butterfly population recovery and education, environmental action and public awareness.

Thanks to these combined efforts, the-monarch butterfly population rebounded 25 percent last year!

What are we doing?

• Engaging with HOAs
• Mowing and maintenance programs
• Community garden groups
• Public communication (like this!)
• Educational signage
• Invasive species removal
• Milkweed seed collection and propagation

Monarchs fly to Mexico for the winter and to Canada for the summer - so you may already be seeing these black-orange-and-white beauties floating through town on their journey north.

Our Cedar Park Parks and Recreation Department's Aquatics Division is now hiring seasonal lifeguards. Pay is $14-$15.50 an hour.-Apply today!
