Waters Park, Texas

Waters Park (also known as Waters and Watters) was a village located eight miles north of downtown Austin, Texas defined by the boundaries of Farm to Market Road 1325, MoPac, and the Southern Pacific Railroad.

The railroad built a park with a swimming pool, gazebo, baseball field, picnic grounds, and concessions stands in the summer of 1882.

Waters is on Walnut Creek, seven miles from Round Rock, five from Pflugerville, in one of the richest parts of Travis County.
