Round Rock Celebrates the Soft Re-Opening of Memorial Park and Unveils the New Big Boy Hester Family Field.
The City of Round Rock proudly announces the soft opening of the Heritage Trail West and Memorial Park, marking a significant milestone in the city’s ongoing efforts to create a vibrant, inclusive, and beautiful community for all residents.

During the opening ceremony, city officials also unveiled the newly renamed Big Boy Hester Family Field. In April, the City of Round Rock approved a resolution to rename the “Bluff” baseball field in Memorial Park after Gail “Big Boy” Hester, honoring his extensive contributions to the city and recognizing his lasting impact on the community.
While portions of these projects are still under construction, the city is thrilled to showcase the first re-opening and share its progress with the community. The Heritage Trail West and Memorial Park are part of the community-supported Bond Project, and align with the city’s strategic goal of “creating a great community to live in.” This goal reflects the city’s commitment to enhancing the quality of life for all residents through thoughtful planning and dedicated efforts.
