Cedar Park Residents' Input Sought For Lakeline Park Plans

CEDAR PARK, TX — City officials have begun the master planning process to develop the 189-acre Lakeline Park, and they want the public's input to be part of the reckoning.

"Let's envision Cedar Park's newest, largest park together!" officials wrote on the municipal events page. To take them up on their offer, you might head on over to an upcoming open house on Thursday aimed at securing community input. Here are the details:

WHAT: Lakeline Park Master Plan, first public meeting

WHEN: April 5, 2018, from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m.
