Playground at Old Settlers being replaced?

Kiddo was devastated when we made a whole thing of going to the "park with the dragon swing" only to arrive and find it leveled. Like, more than normal 5-yo upset, she looked like she lost a pet.

a) its not like i got to city council meetings or anything, but wtf? maybe some warning? that's just the frustration speaking, i know. but it seems like i cant escape hearing about kenny fort but didn't hear a whisper of this.

b) it was one of the most modern and large playscapes around, surely wasn't in that much need of replacement? there was a slide that was boarded off (with no visible reason, i assume structural issue of some sort) but seemed like it would be fixable and was otherwise in outstanding shape. maybe they wanted it moved so are rebuilding elsewhere?

c) are they rebuilding? ETA?

Do You Like Jigsaw Puzzles? Come to a Free Jigsaw Puzzle Trunk Swap This Sunday (2/2)!

Hi folks. A gaggle of us jigsaw puzzle fans meet every first Sunday of the month at Kinningham Park (1000 Southcreek Dr, Round Rock, TX 78664, not far from A.W. Grimes & Gattis School) for a trunk swap. You can bring any jigsaw puzzles you want to trade -- preferably with the boxes either taped closed or the pieces inside a plastic bag so there's no spillage. Please don't bring any with more than 3 pieces missing. This is NOT a one-to-one swap -- you're welcome to take as many as you like, and you don't HAVE to bring any puzzles to take any. And best of all, it's free!

Please park toward the back of the parking lot so we won't block any traffic. We will start promptly at 1:00 pm and try to finish by 1:15 pm.

We swap the first Sunday of every month, so spread the word to any Round Rock area puzzle enthusiasts, or those nearby! This group is part of the Free Jigsaw Puzzle Swap Central Texas group on FB, which meets at various locales around central TX.

Who do I need to bug to get the ball rolling for a ice rink here in RR?

Called the sports capital of Texas but no where to play hockey. But I can drive 30 minutes out of Round Rock and theres 3 places with a total of 5 sheets. We have a killer AHL team in Cedar Park that sees many young players on their way to a promising future in the NHL. Theres a gear store in Austin, used gear store close to that, and when Scheels opens in Cedar Park they'll have a hockey section too. There's several leagues for kids and adults that see a growing number of players. But we keep getting expansions for outdoor sports and other indoor sports but no ice.

I would love to get an initiative going to get a sheet or two in Round Rock. It can help pay for itself just doing public skating with rentals and parties on top of other programs like curling and figure skating. I think we're overdue but dont know where to start if anyone has any suggestions. Thank you!

Does anyone know what’s being build on redbud on the east side of old settlers?

There’s two spots on the park side of redbud just south of old settlers boulevard that look to be having a few feet of soil being removed. Seems too far off the road to be related to the expansion and the connection to 110 is on the other side entirely. Anyone know what’s going on?

Thanks in advance! everyone we’ve encountered so far has been super friendly so thanks for the warm welcome! :)

Live music?

I’ve been looking around Round Rock and Austin for good music venues and shows. So far, I’ve only been once to Come and Take It.

If not, are there any really good local rock bands? I only know ‘The Formality’ and ‘Woodward and Parker’

Shipley's Do-Nuts on Mays St. is no more

They closed last month but I just read about it in Community Impact. Only one Shipley's is left in RR, but the Mays store was right around the corner from me. I am sad but my wife is thrilled.

Here is the article with other RR business news.

Any reviews about the Cielo East by Masonwood Homes?

I'm considering purchasing a home in Cielo East by Masonwood Homes, located near the intersection of Interstate 35 and TX 45 in Round Rock, TX. The area seems to have a lot going for it, like proximity to major employers (Dell, Samsung, Amazon, etc.) and shopping/entertainment spots from La Frontera.

However, I'd love to hear from anyone with firsthand experience.

  • What do you think about the quality of Masonwood Homes?
  • Are there any hidden issues or concerns with the neighborhood (construction quality, HOA, property taxes, etc.)?
  • What about future development or amenities in and around the area? Heard about The District development but looks like the plan might be canceled.
  • How does the community feel overall (neighbors, noise levels, safety, etc.)?

Looking for good NY style pizza

Afternoon y’all. I’m new to round rock and was wondering about where I could find some good NY style pizza. I’ve tried 600 degrees and Yahgis, personally I think Yahgis is better, but was wondering if there’s any other strong contenders that I should try out.

Appreciate it! Take care.

Best place to get depression meds filled with no insurance

I’m looking for the cheapest place to get my meds refilled. Goodrx won’t fill them until I see a Dr. I don’t have insurance and I’m running low. I don’t make enough money to afford most walk in self pay appointments. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I take Effexor 75mg and I can’t run out or I’ll be in a bad place.

Engagement photographer needed

Planning to be proposing to my soon to be fiance (we actually talk, so this isn't coming from left field lol)

I'm going to propose next month and need a photographer who can go incognito at the restaurant then get pictures/ videos of the moment.

Will pay fair value for work, food at restaurant and cost for touch-ups/editing.

Please dm or comment with rates/portfolios

Chickens with HOA

Planning to buy a home in the next few months in RR, we are already here just trying to scope out which neighborhoods have HOA and which don’t. We want to get chickens in the future.

I’m wondering if anyone here knows of any HOA in RR that allows chickens?

Also, open to advice regarding neighborhoods in general and what to look out for. Thank you!

King mattress for free (good condition)

Hey all! I had to move out of state from Round Rock and got a uhaul box to pack up stuff but unfortunately not everything fit and I had to leave some perfectly good stuff behind. I am looking to see if anyone would be able to pickup a king mattress in good condition (pet and smoke free). It’s sitting in storage and it’s up for grabs for anyone that wants it. I also have some other stuff like a high chair, an ottoman and a crib mattress.
