Recently, the City of Bastrop closed trailheads due to unsafe conditions created by drainage issues. 
While this is an ongoing issue that we are working on both short and long term solutions towards, we have set up this page to keep residents of Pecan Park up to date with any important developments and to provide a place to submit your questions. If you have any issues with this page, email info@cityofbastrop.org or call City Hall at 512-332-8800.
