The city’s first park, Fritz Park, was dedicated in 2005. It includes a pavilion, basketball court, baseball and football fields, and a hike and bike trail.
In January, the city was awarded a $400,000 grant from the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department to develop Hutto Lake Park on city-owned parkland. The lake is among the elements of the parks master plan developed by the city.
Hutto Lake Park officially opened to the public in May 2011, and includes a pavilion, picnic tables, a playscape, catch and release fishing pier and a birdwatching blind. In addition to maintaining park facilities and planning for future park development, the Parks and Recreation Department also coordinates a number of annual events, including a Fourth of July celebration, Easter egg hunt, Arbor Day tree planting,
Don’t Mess with Texas trash-off and a 5K fun run in conjunction with Olde Tyme Days. The department also hosts a summer concert series and movies in the park, as well as youth and adult sports programs.
