Once a Great Park — Now Sadly Neglected
This park used to be such a wonderful place for families, but it’s gone downhill. A couple years ago they replaced the soft mulch in the playground with old rubber and plastic pieces, and now the whole area smells like burnt rubber. It’s unpleasant to sit nearby, and I worry about kids playing in it — it just doesn’t feel clean or safe anymore, despite the Jellybean disclaimer on the wall. My kids leave the play area with blackened feet.
The bathrooms are another big disappointment.

Read moreSpacious & Open Recreation Area Bee Cave Park is a combination of well manicured areas near the extensive 4’ concrete walkways surrounded by wild flowers and grasses.

Playscapes are protected with colorful nylon sunshades. I highly recommend this park for parents and kids, couples, or individuals for all types...
