As the city of Pflugerville continues work on its Downtown East project, a portion of Gilleland Creek Trail will close to allow construction on future connections to the city hub and the Monarch Recreation Center.

Overview

The trail is expected to close Feb. 17 and last for approximately one year. While the trail is closed, the city will install signage for a detour that will add about 1,000 feet, or 0.2 miles, to the route.

Remember this?

The city broke ground in December 2024 on phase 1 of the downtown project, which will include a new city hall, multigenerational recreation center and civic plaza. In September 2025, construction crews placed the highest beam of the new city hall, marking a major milestone on the project.

Since then, Pflugerville City Council approved two new governing entities to manage the 29-acre district in November.
