About the Location
The Stage is Set
At the heart of Centennial Plaza lies its performance stage and amphitheater, where the magic of live entertainment unfolds against an open sky. The tiered grass seating creates a natural, relaxed atmosphere for enjoying everything from local bands to theatrical productions.
Come nightfall, special lighting transforms the plaza into a twinkling venue with its own unique charm. Since there's no permanent seating, you'll want to bring along your favorite folding chairs or a cozy blanket to spread out on the well-maintained lawn.
Artistic Touches
As you wander through the plaza, you'll encounter public art sculptures and displays that add character and cultural depth to your visit. The pillars of the community monuments stand as silent storytellers, honoring significant chapters in Round Rock's history.
Practical Stuff
No need to plan your visit around bathroom breaks - Centennial Plaza offers clean restrooms for visitors. And if your phone battery is running low after taking too many photos, you can take advantage of the device charging stations available to the public.
The underground parking makes getting to and from events hassle-free. While your four-legged friends are welcome to join you for a stroll, just remember this isn't specifically designed as a dog park.
Natural Highlights
One of the plaza's more unique features is the bat observation overlook, where you can witness these fascinating creatures in action - a quintessential Central Texas experience if there ever was one.
Kids particularly love splashing around the water fountain feature, which adds both visual appeal and some welcome cooling on hot Texas days. The drought-resistant landscaping throughout the plaza shows thoughtful design that respects local water conservation needs while still looking beautiful.
Community Hub
Centennial Plaza truly comes alive as a gathering space for community celebrations all year long. From colorful Dia de los Muertos festivities to vibrant Pride festivals, the plaza hosts many of Round Rock's cultural events.
The open design makes it great for family get-togethers, public ceremonies, or just hanging out. The amphitheater is designed so you can see the performances from most spots on the lawn.
Finding Your Way
You'll come across Centennial Plaza tucked behind the Baca Center (a senior facility where activities require membership) and the McConnico Building in downtown Round Rock.
