Cedar Park Yards, From Buttercup Creek to The Place
Cedar Park has been building neighborhoods since the 1970s, and it shows. Some of the oldest homes still stand in southern spots like Cedar Park Ranchettes. Then there are brand new subdivisions like The Place, with resident-only parks and quiet streets.
Buttercup Creek sits on the west side, roughly between Colby Lane, Cypress Creek Road, S Lakeline Boulevard and Del Roy Drive. Its older section dates to the 1980s. The newer section has bigger homes. Different yards, same problem: dogs don't care how old your house is.
Other Cedar Park neighborhoods people name include Ranch at Brushy Creek, Cypress Canyon, Anderson Mill West, Forest Oaks, Walsh Trail, Silverado West, Block House Creek and Heritage Park. Heritage Park has tons of connecting sidewalks, so you'll see plenty of dogs out walking. Lots of these communities have HOAs, too. If yours does, our guide to HOA dog rules for pet owners is worth a read.
Where Cedar Park Dogs Run, Swim and Sniff
Cedar Park dogs have it pretty good. Here are the spots locals talk about most.
Cedar Bark Park at Veterans Memorial Park
Cedar Bark Park is a 5-acre fenced dog park inside Veterans Memorial Park on W New Hope Drive. It has a dog pond, dog showers, drinking fountains and pet waste stations. Heads up: it closes for maintenance on Tuesdays from 7am to 3pm and Fridays from 7am to 11am. Plan your pond day around that.
Leashes can only come off inside the fenced off-leash areas. And yes, the city expects you to use those waste stations.
Brushy Creek Lake Park and the Regional Trail
Brushy Creek Lake Park is a 90-acre city park on Brushy Creek Road. The Brushy Creek Regional Trail runs along the water toward Twin Lakes Park, with wide gravel paths that dogs and bikes share easily. Keep your pup leashed. It gets busy near the splash pads and playgrounds.
Discovery Well Cave Preserve
Cedar Park sits on top of real caves. The caves at Discovery Well Cave Preserve stay sealed to protect their fragile ecology, but you and your dog can hike the trails above them. The city's park rules cover cave preserves too, so bag it and carry it out.
What Cedar Park's Code Says About Dog Poop
Cedar Park spells this out in plain terms. Here's the short version, in our words, not a lawyer's.
- Your own yard counts. Under Section 2.11.001 of the Cedar Park Code of Ordinances, you can't let your pet's waste pile up on your property until it gets unsanitary or offensive. That includes letting it affect the neighbors' property next door.
- Pick it up right away in public. Section 2.11.002 covers streets, sidewalks, play areas, parks and anywhere people walk. It's only OK if you immediately pick up and toss it in a proper waste container. Same goes for someone else's private yard.
- Leash up off your property. Article 2.06 says dogs off their owner's property, or in places open to the public, need a leash, chain or similar restraint. An electric fence doesn't count.
- Park rules stack on top. Section 8.03.001 makes it unlawful to skip picking up pet waste in a city park, recreation area or cave preserve. Unleashed dogs are only allowed in designated off-leash areas.
- Register your pets. The city requires registration for cats and dogs. Details live on the city's Pet Care page.
Translation: a backyard that's turned into a minefield isn't just gross. In Cedar Park, it can be a code issue. Want the bigger picture? Read our breakdown of fines for not picking up dog poop.

Why Cedar Park Folks Hand Off the Scooping
Some people think rain takes care of it. It doesn't. It just spreads it around. (Here's why dog poop doesn't wash away in the rain.) Others plan to scoop on Saturday, then Saturday turns into a Brushy Creek trail walk and a Cedar Bark pond session. Fair enough. That's the good stuff.
That's where we come in. Your local Poo Squad crew shows up, walks the yard and scoops the piles. You get the yard back. Your dog gets a clean place to play. Everybody wins, except the flies.
