Getting there: From I-35 in Round Rock take the RR 620 exit and head west on 620. Turn right onto O'Connor Drive. Continue past Liberty Walk Drive and look for the park on the right where there is a small parking lot.

The Hike: Cat Hollow is a small, neighborhood park that provides several possible activities for area residents. Along with the short trail, the park includes a playscape, tennis court, basketball court and some room for picnicing.

Walking the trail around the park is as simple as starting from any point along Liberty Walk Drive. The entire path is paved, which makes for easy going, but not for a pure "hiking" experience.

The concrete trail circles the small park.

The park was full of kids and parents, particularly around the playscape. Although there are numerous trees on the grounds, many lost their leaves long ago in the fall, so the park is more open that it probably feels in the spring and summer.

Don't be confused by the topo map for this hike. The area around the park is now completely built up with homes that have been constructed since the government topo maps were drawn up. For a more complete picture click on the link to MapQuest.

To sum it up, this is a nice little park for area residents, but probably not worth a trip from any great distance.

Not a whole mile. On the other side of the park is the Liberty Walk & then the Community Greenbelt. Great place to park and do all 3 hikes (takes about an hour) but park but itself isnt exciting.

The directions to the park are wrong. The park is located at the NW corner of Liberty Walk and O'conner. The "trail" is very narrow, hardly enough room for two people to walk side by side. If I go there again, it will be to take my kids to play, and not to "hike".

Not much to this one. The entire loop is paved and pretty much out in the open. It circles a basketball court, playscape and the like. Not much of a hiking experience, but not a bad stroll if you live in the neighborhood.
