TPWD proposes transfer of Twin Lakes Park (approx. 56 acres) to Williamson County, with public‑park condition
Summary
TPWD staff recommended transferring ownership of about 56 acres at Twin Lakes Park in Cedar Park to Williamson County, subject to a requirement the county continue operating the property as a public park.
Stan David of TPWD’s Land Conservation Program briefed commissioners on May 21 about a proposed disposition of approximately 56 acres of Twin Lakes Park in Williamson County (Cedar Park). TPWD staff recommended transferring full ownership to Williamson County while requiring the county to continue operating the property as a public park.
David said Twin Lakes Park has been jointly operated by Williamson County and the YMCA for about 30 years and offers multiple recreational amenities, including a pool, water playscape, multipurpose sports fields, an archery range, a beach swimming area, sand volleyball, a ropes course and outdoor education facilities. He said the original 50‑acre transfer from TxDOT to TPWD followed legislative direction in 1994, and an additional 6 acres were transferred by TxDOT in 2012. TPWD staff said transferring the property to Williamson County would reduce TPWD’s operational oversight while preserving public uses under a deed restriction requiring continued park operation.
David reported five public comments had been received on the proposal and that all five were in favor. Staff requested the commission place the disposition on the Thursday commission meeting agenda for public comment and action.
