Pet-Friendly Parks and Trails Around Cedar Park

If you’ve got a furry friend who loves to get outside as much as you do, you’re in luck. Cedar Park is full of beautiful parks, open trails, and pet-friendly spots where you and your four-legged companion can enjoy the great Texas outdoors together.

Whether you’re looking for a quick walk, a weekend adventure, or just a spot to relax under the trees, there’s something here for everyone (and every pup). Let me share a few local favorites that always make tails wag.

Brushy Creek Lake Park

This one’s a classic for a reason. Brushy Creek Lake Park offers wide open spaces, shaded trails, and scenic views along the water. The main trail connects to the larger Brushy Creek Regional Trail, giving you miles of room to explore.

There are picnic areas, fishing spots, and plenty of space for a relaxed walk or a long jog. Just make sure your pup stays leashed—there’s lots to sniff and see along the way.

Brushy Creek Regional Trail

If you and your dog enjoy longer walks or runs, this is one of the best trails in the Austin area. Stretching more than 7 miles, it winds through Cedar Park and Round Rock with beautiful scenery, small bridges, and open greenbelts.

You’ll find water fountains, benches, and even dog-friendly stops along the way. It’s perfect for those early morning walks before the Texas sun gets too strong.

Veterans Memorial Park

Located right off Bagdad Road, Veterans Memorial Park is a favorite among local dog owners. It has a large, fenced-in dog park divided for small and large dogs, so your pup can run freely and safely.

There’s also a walking trail that loops the park, along with shaded seating for when you’re ready to rest. It’s one of those spots where you’re sure to meet other dog lovers and make a few new friends, human and canine alike.

Lakeline Park

Cedar Park’s newest gem, Lakeline Park, is perfect for weekend strolls with your pup. It has wide trails, open spaces, and beautiful lake views. The park is still growing, but it’s already become a local favorite for families and dog walkers.

If you like to combine a little nature with your exercise, this one’s worth checking out.

Elizabeth Milburn Park

This neighborhood park may not be as large as some of the others, but it’s peaceful and perfect for shorter walks. There’s plenty of green space and walking paths that are ideal for dogs who enjoy a calm outing close to home.

Bring a blanket and stay for a picnic, you’ll find open fields and shaded trees perfect for an afternoon break.

Bonus: Dog-Friendly Stops Around Town

After your walk, stop by one of Cedar Park’s pet-friendly patios like Red Horn Coffee House & Brewing Co., Blue Corn Harvest, or The Grove Wine Bar & Kitchen. Many local restaurants and breweries welcome dogs on their patios, and some even have water bowls ready.

Cedar Park is such a great place for pet owners because it blends community, nature, and plenty of open space. Whether you’re exploring a trail, grabbing coffee with your pup, or meeting other pet parents, there’s no shortage of ways to enjoy time together.
