Champion Park is a 33-acre park that sits along the award-winning Williamson County Regional Trail off of Brushy Creek Road -just east of Parmer lane.
The park was named after the Champion family, who once owned the land. The family cemetery is located in the park and includes the burial place of former Williamson County Sheriff John Champion and his relatives. A historical marker near the cemetery gives a brief history of the Champion family.
Park amenities include -a unique covered children's play area with stone casts of dinosaur bones buried under sand for children to discover, a Whale's Tail Sprayscape, a large picnic pavilion, a fishing area, restrooms, parking, and a bridge across Brushy Creek connecting the park to the Avery Ranch subdivision.
The discovery area allows children to search for fossil bone replicas of a Mosasuraus Maximus. This dinosaur was a huge seagoing relative of the lizard and their bones are fairly common in Central Texas.
