Downtown Pflugerville
|
The town of
Pflugerville was laid out in 1904 at the time that the
Missouri,
Kansas and Texas Railroad was being established through
East
Travis
County. Soon afterward, a downtown developed near the depot and cotton gin. The downtown is still in use today and is the home of a popular gift shop featuring Czech crystal, a live music venue, frame shop, restaurants, city offices, and many other businesses. |

Lake Pflugerville-
At dedication monument
 |
Since its dedication in January 2006, the 180-acre
Lake
Pflugerville has been a popular recreation spot for Pflugerville and surrounding area residents. A 3.1 mile walking/jogging trail, seven fishing piers, picnic tables, and restrooms, are all features enjoyed by visitors to the lake. Plans call for the addition of a swim beach, boat launch, and more picnic tables and restrooms. The lake has also become quite popular among kayakers and kiteboarders. Although relatively new, the lake has already become the home of several annual events. The Pflugerville triathlon occurs in June and the overwhelmingly popular Pfirecracker Pfestival is conducted on the Fourth of July. |

Lake Pflugerville-

The primary purpose of
Lake
Pflugerville is to serve as a reservoir for the Pflugerville water system. The lake holds 554 million gallons of water that is pumped from the
Colorado River through a fifteen mile pipeline to the lake. Up to 15 million gallons per day can be treated at the water plant across
Weiss Lane from the lake. The plant uses the latest in microfilter technology and is sized to serve Pflugerville’s water needs for years into the future. It is 33 feet at its deepest point and averages about ten feet deep. |

Scott B. Mentzer Pool in
Heritage Park
|
Perhaps a child’s favorite place in Pflugerville is the Scott Mentzer Pool in
Heritage
Park. Slides, water fountains, a lazy river and other features make a trip to the pool an exciting experience. Shade umbrellas and a zero entry add to the enjoyment. |

Northeast Corner of State Highway 130 and Pecan Street
|
The opening of State Highway 130 and State Highway 45 began a new era in Pflugerville. Although Pflugerville has been just a short drive from IH35, and FM685 and FM1825 pass right through town, major highway frontage was lacking. The two new roads are the first in the Central Texas Turnpike Project, and connect Pflugerville directly to other areas of the region. Approximately 6.25 miles of SH130 and 2.0 miles of SH45 are in Pflugerville. More than 93 percent of the highways in Pflugerville have adjacent frontage roads and five SH130 exits serve Pflugerville. One of the most prominent of the intersecting streets is
Pecan Street that crosses downtown Pflugerville, becomes the FM1825 route, and proceeds west to IH35. It eventually should become the main entrance to Pflugerville. |
