Bell Park Now Open: A New Community Gathering Place


The City of Cedar Park is thrilled to announce the official opening of Bell Park. A ribbon cutting ceremony was held the morning of December 12, 2024, to welcome residents and community members to the substantially completed park featuring new amenities, opportunities to experience the outdoors and moments to create lasting memories.


Bell Park encompasses approximately 15 acres along Cluck Creek and sits adjacent to the new Cedar Park Public Library. The park has been thoughtfully designed in coordination with the Bell District, including the City’s new Library and the Backyard space, led by the District’s master developer, RedLeaf.


The park serves as a new gathering place including a pavilion, accessible seating arrangements such as picnic tables and natural stone, eye-catching art installations, and convenient public restrooms. The highlight is Belle, a delightful 23-ft bird play structure that adds a whimsical touch to the natural surroundings. The project also includes approximately 4,000 linear feet of new trail, soon to be fully opened, with about 3,700 linear feet being a concrete shared-use path. This path will seamlessly connect neighborhoods west of the Bell District to Bell Boulevard, integrating into the City’s expanding trail network. 


Stay tuned for future schedules and announcements on our website and social media channels. We look forward to welcoming you to new events and unforgettable experiences as we continue to work towards enhancing the vibrant community life at Bell Park.
