The City of Cedar Park Newsletter

Official news about the City of Cedar Park from the City of Cedar Park.

Bring your family out to pay tribute to Veterans at Veterans Memorial Park (2525 W. New Hope Dr.) from November 10-15. While we will not be able to have the displays or in-person ceremony this year, we have come up with some creative ways to honor our Veterans all week long. Each evening, from dusk until 10 p.m., the Pathway of Heroes and Monument will be beautifully illuminated with patriotic lighting. The new Nurse Corps statue will be unveiled in time for the special lighting event. Follow our social media to see our video tour of the Memorial monument and all the statues along the Pathway of Heroes.

We also want to thank everyone who sent in pictures of Veterans, to help us create the wonderful mosaic you can see here.

2020 Sculpture Garden

So many of us have been finding new ways to enjoy our community this year. Did you know Cedar Park has its very own Sculpture Garden? Better yet, it is free for the public to enjoy! Each year, new sculptures are installed at the Sculpture Garden, located at 1435 Main St. (adjacent to the Rec Center) The next time you want to enjoy nature and a leisurely stroll, we hope you’ll take in and appreciate some of the art in our city.

See all of the sculptures and how to get the artist in your life involved in this project, in the 2020 Sculpture Garden Brochure here.

In past years, we have unveiled the new sculptures at the Taste of Cedar Park. This year, we have gone digital. Now even if you are unable to walk the path to see the new sculptures in-person, you can enjoy them virtually. Hear about the inspiration behind the new sculptures from the artists themselves and see the art installed in the digital unveiling of the Cedar Park Sculpture Garden, here:
