Wood Glen’s Amenities & Nearby Parks

To burn off all those calories from touring ‘Restaurant Row’, take advantage of Wood Glen’s amenities! Plenty to choose from: a junior Olympic-sized pool and covered baby pool, lighted tennis court, sport court, sand volleyball, children’s playscape, and hike and bike trails.  We love grabbing our bikes and riding through the tree lined trails, or watching our boys burn energy on the playscape and swings. We’ve spent hours splashing and swimming in the enormous pool.

Other close-by outdoor activities include our favorite, Play for All Abilities Park, of which Baker Realty is a proud sponsor. Every section of this 51,000 square foot park helps all children develop specific skills. It’s a ‘must see’ in Round Rock, Texas.

If you want to move on to bigger fields, head to Old Settlers Park. This park’s 640 acres provides ample space for various activities. This is where our boys have run countless races in the Healthy Kids Running Series, enjoyed July 4^th fireworks, and Christmas light drive-throughs.
