Lots of Shade!

This trail isn't super-long, and it's paved, but if you start at the baseball diamonds and head back toward the big loop, most the your walk will be very well shaded, plus it runs along a nice little creek, though it's not always terrible visible through the undergrowth.  There's an especially pleasant pecan grove sort of area, and some exercise equipment dotted along the path.  You'll definitely see other people, but they haven't ever been too numerous or bothersome.  There's also a small weir or dam sort of thing--not _very_ scenic, but it makes a lovely sound.  The park as a whole has a ton of recreational facilities, for those who want to do things other than walk.

Very clean sports park I often spend all day hiking, biking, throwing the frisbee or just hanging out with friends here.

Nice park, but not a great hike

Nice park, but not really what I'm looking for in a "hike," given that it's so public and paved.  And beware -- I sat under a tree near the soccer fields to draw in my sketchbook, and I got a ton of chigger bites!

Okay loop

Lots of trees and a creek.  I'd give it 2.5.  Nice trail for bikes.

The pond looks better after a good rain.

Does anyone know what control is on the Cedar Park WasteWater Treatment Facility as far as the amount of effluent they put into Brushy Creek upstream of this park?
Nice hike and bike path

Concrete surface throughout and mostly flat. South of the trailhead the path is shaded and set back from the road and parking spaces. The northern half parallels the road (which can get busy with soccer tournaments) and should probably be avoided unless you just want to add some more distance. There are some nice picnic spots along the southern half of the trail and some measure of solitude there as only one other person was on the trail during my walk.
