Cedar Park City Council Members along with Community Development (Type 4B) Corporation Members, a few City staff and contractors ceremonially broke ground on Lakeline Park on Friday, August 27, 2021.  Located on 200 acres of parkland in south Cedar Park, Lakeline Park will be the largest City of Cedar Park-owned park.  Completion is planned for summer 2022. 

The park has long been planned as a 2015 voter-approved General Obligation Bond project.  The game-changer came in 2017, when the City was able to purchase a 72-acre tract from the Peck family to bring the total to 200 acres. 

Mayor Corbin Van Arsdale said, “You can’t really have a great city without a great park.  If you think about the great cities you’ve ever visited in your life they all have a great park, and now Cedar Park’s going to have a great park.”   

Referring to Cedar Park’s namesake, a popular park and rail stop in the 1800s, Van Arsdale said, “Originally Cedar Park was actually named after a park 150 years ago, and now we’re going to be creating a brand new, awesome park.”
