I ran across the Master Plan for Williamson County’s parks and it has a great description of all our county parks, maps, and much more on population, expected growth and other data. Just passing it along…
You can download the PDF by clicking on the picture in this post or click on this link, or find the info at its source on the county’s website, www.wilco.org. Once there, choose Departments -> Parks & Recreation -> Master Plan -> 2018 Comprehensive Parks Master Plan, 9/7/2018 (currently the largest file on that page).
Also in the news, Williamson County Parks and Recreation announced they are now on Instagram to stay connected with visitors and share park features. Join them by following the handle @wilcotxparks on Instagram.

Berry Springs Park and Preserve, 1801 Co Rd 152, Georgetown, TX 78626, 8:30am – 10:00am. Park and Start at the restroom at the top of the hill past the donkeys. Join us for an introduction on how to identify native plants in their natural habitat. We plan to conduct this walk in all four seasons of 2019 to give you practice identifying native plants during their annual growth cycle of winter, spring, summer and fall. Field guides and cameras are encouraged! Be prepared for walking on roughly mulched but level, open terrain. Wear sturdy clothes appropriate for the weather, closed toe shoes, and bring water and snacks as needed. Please plan on arriving a little early to sign a state NPSOT waiver. No reservation is required, but you may contact Gary Bowers (info removed) if you have any questions.
