Georgetown breaks ground on phase 3 of San Gabriel Park improvements

San Gabriel Park is one of 65 Lone Star Legacy Parks in Texas.
Earlier in June, the City of Georgetown broke ground on the third phase of improvements to San Gabriel Park, with construction expected to be finished by spring 2024.
“San Gabriel Park is a beautiful place to visit, and it’s something that’s important to our residents,” said Eric Nuner, Parks and Recreation Department assistant director in a release. “We’re proud of these improvements and what they’ve done to create spaces for people to get outside and enjoy themselves.”
The 180-acre park is home to several 200-year-old oak trees, a hike and bike trail, and a 1.6-mile loop that connects to three nearby parks and Lake Georgetown. The park accommodates many outdoor recreational activities, such as disc golf, baseball, basketball, soccer, and more.
San Gabriel Park is also a Lone Star Legacy Park, as designated in 2012 by the Texas Recreation and Parks Society. It is one of the highest honors a park can receive; there are only 65 Lone Star Legacy Parks in Texas.
In addition to improving the roadways and parking (which will hopefully help future installments of Two Step Inn), a few of the new amenities under development include:
- Multi-use performance pavilion
- Splash pad plaza
- Monuments at the entryways
- Shade shelters
- New restrooms
- New skate park
