Creekside Park
Creekside Park is a terrific neighborhood park with playscape, swings, picnic tables, water fountain, and a BBQ area. There also is a beautiful playhouse which was completely funded and built by Creekside neighbors, and painted by local artists Trish Black and April Patterson. Hike-and-bike trails run through the park and along the nearby creek, woods, and fields. Creekside Park is on Settler's Valley Drive, just south of Oxford Drive, and is the location of many neighborhood events and parties.

 

 

Wuthrich Park (formerly Mountain Side Park)
Our newest park, named to honor a long-time Pflugerville family, is between the Creekside and Mountain Creek neighborhoods. A hike-and-bike trail connects Mountain View Drive to Olympic Drive, making the park easily accessible to both neighborhoods. Park amenities include a large playscape with a climbing wall, shaded picnic areas, BBQ areas, water fountains, and trees. In coordination with the Pflugerville Parks & Recreation Department, the Mountain Creek Home Owners Association financed most of the park amenities. Creekside Neighborhood Association contributed to the cost of the trees, including a Mountain Laurel tree which was planted in memory of a Creekside neighbor child, Lindsey Ogle.

Adopt-a-Trail
As part of the City of Pflugerville's Adopt-a-Trail program, Creekside has "adopted" the trail through the neighborhood. Adopt-a-Trail allows citizens to take pride in their community and help keep the costs of litter collection under control. Creekside organizes four clean-up days per year including the citywide "Keep Pflugerville Beautiful Trash Off" each March.

 

Memorial bench for Zach Vasquez in Creekside Park

Zach had many friends in Creekside and spent many happy times playing in Creekside Park. Many Creekside neighbors generously made donations to go toward the memorial for Zach Vasquez in our park. The bench serves as a lovely place to sit and rest in our park. For information on the Zachary Vasquez Memorial Golf Tournament, Concert, BBQ, and Auction, which benefits a college scholarship fund for local high school athletes, visit www.zacharyvasquez.com.
 

 

New trees in Creekside Park
Many native trees have been planted in Creekside Park which should provide shade and enjoyment for many years to come. A big thanks to Creekside resident Anthony Martin for working with Tree Folks and the Pflugerville Parks & Recreation Dept (PARD) to plant the trees and install the sprinkler system. Creekside Neighborhood Association and PARD provided the parts for the sprinkler system and Anthony and other Creekside neighbors installed it.

Park Dedication

On December 10, 1999 CNA, with the help of the Pflugerville Parks and Recreation Department held a park dedication party for Creekside Park. About 50 Creekside neighbors, Parks & Recreation Commisioners, and community representatives attended. Certificates of appreciation were presented to former Creekside neighbor Lauren Stewart, Pflugerville Parks & Recreation Dept. Director Glenn Holzer, and Councilman Randy Strickland for their hard work. To honor Lauren for her hard work, we called the park "The Lauren Stewart Community Park" for the day! It was a fun event to celebrate Creekside Park and to acknowledge the efforts of the many people who have helped get the park built.
