Champion Park – Cedar Park, Texas

Posted by Sara on Mar 16, 2010 in Texas, Travel |

This post is first in my new ongoing series about the parks along the Brushy Creek Regional Trail system in North Austin.

This weekend, eager to enjoy the Spring sun and gentle breezes, we took Titus to Champion Park in Cedar Park, Texas. Though somewhat small, this park offers unique discoveries particularly targeting the preschool crowd I’d say.

Concrete casts of dinosaur bones hide beneath the sand in the covered dinosaur dig area.

If shovels won’t do the job, why not bring in the heavy machinery?

Specially designed boulders encourage climbing.

The miles of pathways and bridges that make up Brushy Creek Trail System are but a few steps away.

Other amenities include ample picnic areas and a blue whale-shaped splash fountain to provide cool summer fun.

Awesome review! I didn’t know about this place. I gotta take the kids to check it out. Dalton is an aspiring paleontologist.

Hey Amanda. It is a fun little park. I forgot to mention it also has swings. If Dalton is into dinosaurs, I found out about this dino park over the weekend – http://www.thedinopark.com/. Looks fun but I haven’t been yet to speak to the experience it offers. :)

Starr – he does look different! Thanks for the complements. He is growing up. He could actually have a conversation with you now. It might follow 2-year-old stream of consciousness, but it would be the beginnings of a conversation. Your speech therapy heart would be so proud. :)
