Enhance existing amenities
-
Elevate nature
-
Expand access to the Park and Muir Lake
PHASE 2
Cedar Park is moving forward with designing Phase 2 of the Lakeline Park Master Plan. Park user feedback has shown a desire for quieter, nature-based experiences at Lakeline Park, in line with input given during the development of the 2024 City-Wide Parks Masterplan for all Cedar Park parks. Following Phase 1’s success, Phase 2 aims to maintain nature, accessibility, and safety while offering unique, engaging experiences. The City will work to enhance the active playscapes developed in Phase 1, while identifying ways to activate the rest of the park in a way that evolves with community needs.
SITE ECOLOGY
Lakeline Park is full of life! Part of what makes it so special is its unique mix of natural environments. Sitting right where the Edwards Plateau meets the Blackland Prairie, the park blends the best of both ecosystems, creating a rich and diverse landscape.
​
The land’s deep, fertile soils and occasional flooding bring in nutrients that support rare tallgrass communities and a variety of historic tree species. Together, these features form a thriving grassland-woodland ecosystem that helps manage floods, filter water, and keep the park’s environment healthy and resilient.
​
As the City plans for Phase 2, protecting these natural features remains a top priority to ensure Lakeline Park’s beauty and biodiversity are preserved for generations to come.
PROPOSED SITE LAYOUT
Lakeline Park is a uniquely natural place with many types of grasses, trees, animals, waterways, rock formations, soils, and more. These unique features offer a special opportunity for the community to develop a park plan that honors the history and natural beauty of historic Cedar Park during early settlement days and before being designated a City in 1973.
​
The proposed site layout for Phase 2 focuses on a smaller, nature-based loop. Elements include discreet, quiet sensory installations and destinations immersive with nature.
FRAMEWORK
This nature-based style of framework offers unique opportunities for users to immerse themselves in areas of the park that would otherwise go unexplored. These smaller natural journeys offer a variety of de-centralized options for play, education, preservation, art installations, and relaxation.
​
These activities are essential to providing a natural park that is maintained and used to its fullest capacity. Programs and activities could include nature walks and conservation activities, forested picnic areas, low-impact exercise areas and classes, educational and kids/teen activities, fishing, native gardens and plantings, bird watching, disc golf, etc.
Cedar Park is committed to developing a plan that is reflective of the lifestyle and values of residents while enhancing the nature of the park. Keeping the Cedar Park community informed about activities and programs for the park is a priority – the project team will be sharing Phase 2 information at the following events and locations:
​
