Round Rock is the ideal place for the outdoor enthusiast. With numerous surrounding lakes, parks and hike and bike trails, there is truly something for everyone. Whether you are exploring the historic Chisholm Trail, or learning about the legendary local bandit Sam Bass, Round Rock abounds with many opportunities for cultural and historic enrichment.
Each year Round Rock brings the community together for local festivals and fairs such as Taste of Round Rock, Frontier Days, Daffodil Days and Fiesta Amistad. One of the many historical productions during the Frontier Days celebration is the Sam Bass Shoot Out, which re-enacts the final days of the legendary outlaw Sam Bass.
Local community theatre, movies in the park, live music and local festivals are not only entertainment for Round Rock’s families, but are a key element in the cultural health of our city.
Round Rock Express baseball and University of Texas athletics are only a small sample of the quality sports in our vibrant community. Marketed as the “Sports Capital of Texas,” Round Rock’s athletic facilities are some of the best in the nation. Along with the numerous golf courses in and around our community, Round Rock offers quality athletic fields that vary from cricket to polo.
