Olson Meadows Park
4200 Brushy Creek Road is the address of Olson Meadows Park (which is also known locally as Hairy Man Road). This is the largest of the Fern Bluff MUD’s six parks. The park’s back entrance leads to the Oak Brook trail section, where concrete pathways run beside two natural spring-fed district detention ponds that culminate in a lovely nature area.
This park is connected to the Williamson County Regional Trail System, and both routes provide opportunities for hiking, walking/jogging, and riding. Olson Meadows is a breath of fresh air for people looking for wide-open grounds for kite flying, Frisbee play, or other hobbies that necessitate a big amount of green space. This park is 54 acres in size, contains four parking places, and a spring-fed stream. Two new wildflower patches have recently been added, providing lovely spring color. All pets must be on a leash when visiting District parks, greenbelts, trails, and ballfields.
Olson Meadow Park has a big 54′ by 37′ covered pavilion that people can lease for special events. There are also two playscapes (one for children), swings, practice fields, bathrooms, and a running route in the park. The park’s big trees provide shade for tourists while also adding to its beauty and quiet. The practice fields are excellent for soccer or baseball and can be booked for team sessions.
The playground at this park is wonderful and well-kept. The kids enjoyed climbing up the larger playscape, which features a focal point that resembles a large metal tree home.
There is also a smaller playscape where toddlers may easily climb and slide without a parent hovering over them to keep them safe. There are enormous shade trees overhead, which isn’t much in the winter but will come in handy in the summer.
There are little “hills” behind the playground where numerous children were sliding down. Large soccer fields and a paved walking path surround the covered pavilion. Picnic tables and bathrooms are available under the covered pavilion. Restrooms can only be accessed with a key.
