We do not want you to donate money to RRP on this site. This is a free site.

All RR Preservation wants you to do is to sign the petition to ask the City of Round Rock to:

   a.  Establish parking spaces within the Bathing Beach Park area (close to the Round Rock Stagecoach Inn) to address the needs of individuals using the Inn/Bathing Beach Park for meetings and events and to comply with ADA requirements.

    b.  Construct a restroom within the Bathing Beach Park area (close to the Round Rock Stagecoach Inn) to address the needs of individuals using the Round Rock Stagecoach Inn during meetings and events. 

    c.  Use citizen comments in this petition to decide the permanent use of the Round Rock Stagecoach Inn. The City of Round Rock will have invested over $1.5M after relocating and restoring the historic Round Rock Stagecoach Inn. Utilizing citizen input to determine the future use of the Inn will satisfy the community’s desires for the best use of the Inn. 

Background: The City of Round Rock, Texas, has two contracts underway during 2023 that impact the Stagecoach Inn location. One contract will build the Bathing Beach Park as a part of the Heritage Trail West Project and the other contract will restore the Round Rock Stagecoach Inn, so the oldest historic structure in Round Rock can be opened for use. 

At a recent City Council meeting, Parks and Recreation stated that Parks plans to use the Round Rock Stagecoach Inn for a lot of different purposes and that the only thing the building doesn’t have is a restroom at this specific time.  Parks also stated the two contracts do not include a public restroom facility or public parking inside the Inn/Bathing Beach Park area. 

Parks indicated that the closest restroom is down the trail system at Memorial Park. The use of Memorial Park restroom facility does not address the needs of individuals attending meetings or events at the Inn/Bathing Beach Park. Access to Memorial Park by foot from Inn/Bathing Beach Park area requires crossing Chisholm Trail Road and is a long 10+ minute walk (one way) from the Inn/Bathing Beach Park area, plus another10+ minute walk to return to the Inn/Bathing Beach Park. 

There are limited existing parking spaces in the Chisholm Trail Crossing Park lot which is located at the top of the hill on the south side of Brushy Creek for visitors to that park. The number of parking spaces at the Chisholm Trail Crossing Park does not meet the parking needs for physically challenged individuals or the number of individuals needing parking spaces for meetings and events at the Inn/ Beach Park.

The photo above is a rear photo of the interior of the Round Rock Stagecoach Inn after the Inn was relocated in 2018.  The final phase of the restoration will include a new tin roof and new wood floors, doors, and windows. Because of the small interior, Parks decided not to include an interior restroom inside the Inn.  The restoration does include a handicap ramp by the back door.

Public comments will be forwarded to: roundrockpreservation50@yahoo.com, where comments will be consolidated and presented to the City of Round Rock for consideration.
