Social meetup @ Dug it up Cedar Park 05/29/2026

We’re back with social meetups! We’re running a social monthly event and smaller weekly events will be held only for discord users - you can join the server once you’ve attended a meetup, just ask anyone for an invite if I forget to add you.

I’ve been doing these meetups in Leander/Cedar Park/Liberty Hill area for almost two years and have found a really good community. Have a hard time making friends? Come to one of our laid back events and meet some new people? Want to develop actual friendships? Keep coming to these!

We’re a group of locals and non locals that like to get together once in a while at local bars/pubs/etc. Whether you’ve lived in the area forever or for just a little bit or just passing by feel free to come along and have a good time, bring a friend or a familiar face! Everyone is welcome!

Where: Dug it up (Cedar Park): 401 Cypress Creek Road # 600, Cedar Park, TX 78613

When: 18:00/06:00pm Friday 29th of May 2026

FAQ:

What happens at this meetup? Just some socializing, getting to know and meet new people. We usually grab a table, order drinks and or food but you’re not pressured to drink or eat. We discuss a variety of subjects, sometimes do board games, as well we might move to a different location depending on the vibe so the post might get updated throughout the night so keep an eye if you’re planning on attending later.

What’s the age range of the attendees? Usually very varied, from early 20’s to mid 50’s . Some places that we go to might have an age limit for entrance so please check that if you’re under 21.

Do you just talk in memes or about reddit stuff? Not at all, usually reddit is never discussed. We discuss music, movies, gardening, cooking, tv shows, arts and crafts, work, family, current world events and so on. We’ve had people that don’t even use reddit show up!

Can I bring someone with me? Yes you can, there’s no signup required or a checklist. You can come by yourself or with a friend or whoever you want or a pet, most places that we go to usually have an outdoor space. Usually no pets allowed inside any establishments due to health code regulations.

What time can I come? Anytime! I usually put a start time for me to be there, but you’re more than welcome to show up earlier or show up later if you have something going on, there’s no attendance or anything. You’re more than welcome to leave at any given time as well.

What if I don’t drink? That’s completely fine, most places that we organize these always have non alcoholic beverages.

I can’t make it! When’s the next one?? The next one will be on June 26th at Pinballz at Lakeline. Whenever I post the event I will try to announce the next event location as well.

This is an inclusive meetup and group, no hate will be tolerated in any shape or form.

My name is Ana and I'll be there, feel free to message me or comment with any questions. I'll update the post or comment on the day with the location of where we're sitting, will have a little reddit snoo sign on the table with the Leander logo.

Using an e-bike in Leander

Hi 👋 if anyone has any questions about bike commuting here in Leander or into Austin don’t hesitate to ask me. I’ve been bike commuting this year while also taking the transit available in Leander and it’s been the best thing I’ve ever done in my life. I have an e-bike so I can recommend one for you and next week I’ll even have e-bike test rides at Leander Station is anyone is e-bike curious. Honestly I laugh at gas ⛽️ prices because that is just not what I need in my life right now. But even if you can’t bike to work running a few errands on bike is the best way to cut into that gas bill 💸. On top of all the benefits probably the biggest is how in shape you end up when you use an e-bike. 🙂

McDonald’s

Why does it seem when we get a new fast food place, it sucks? I remember when the Burger King opened on Hero way, and it has been trash the whole time it’s been open. From the numerous times I’ve gone for lunch and the lobby was closed, to the food just being garbage. And the McD’s on Hero/Bagdad is the worst. We did a mobile order tonight to pick up in the drive thru. At the window they asked me to pull up to the last window while they finished my order. I sat there for at least 15 minutes while several cars behind me got their food and left. So I went inside, where it took another 5 or so minutes for an employee to even acknowledge me standing at the counter. They finally brought my food out another 5 minutes later, just for me to get home with it and find out my son’s happy meal cheeseburger that was supposed to be plain had everything on it. I understand when it gets busy and you’re short staffed that the food may take longer, but the absolute lack of customer service is unacceptable, not to mention getting the order wrong after waiting for it for so long. Ok rant over lol

TLDR; McDonald’s in Leander is trash and their customer service is nearly non existent (except for the one employee Darren that’s always there and knows me by name, he’s very nice)

Parks with large walking paths and playgrounds in the area?

Hi all, I'm set to move to the Cedar Park/Leander area soon. I'm looking for quality parks in the area with housing nearby, specifically ones with large (ideally ~0.5-1mile+ in length) walking trails and maybe a children's playground.

If it helps, I'm coming from Sugar Land and have fallen in love with Eldridge Park here. It features a mile loop and a children's playground, and I've come to use both extensively.

I'm seeing bigger options like Lakewood, Devine Lake, Robin Bledsoe, etc... Just want to ask locals to see where the hidden gems are.

Fireworks

My family and I moved to Leander last summer and one thing I didn’t think about, was fireworks being legal or not, or if not if anybody really cares negatively. Where we live before, our city never had a band on them, but some cities around, and nobody called the cops for fireworks. In fact, pretty much all the police departments expressly stated, do not contact them for fireworks, they are too busy.

The question I have here is if Leander police do anything about fireworks. Best time of the year for me is friends and family at home, celebrating Independence Day, including writing on fireworks and the majority of it at night.

Edit/Update: Please do not respond with comments about dogs, fire hazards, the state burning down, or neighborhood trash. I am not asking about any of that, and I will have very sharp arguments disagreeing with those points if they are brought up. My post is very narrowly focused on one single question: Do the Leander police actually enforce the fireworks ban or do anything about them? Please keep the responses focused strictly on this question.

Leander water sucks

Anecdotal but installed a 3 stage WH filtration system and everything has improved. From dishes to floors to eczema, it's like day and night. didn't realize water here was so bad. I had a softener in years ago but filters have been a game changer.

Lakewood Park Splash Pad

I suppose it’s my fault for not looking online ahead of time, but I tried to bring my little one to the splash pad today only to find that it’s closed for two weeks for maintenance. I understand that in order for these places to stay nice they need to be maintained, but I wonder why they decided to wait until May to do so. It makes more sense, in my mind, to do all large maintenance projects in April or earlier instead of opening the splash pad for 11 days, only to close it again for another 14!

Cheba hut Leander

Disappointed to see how much this place has changed. No more half-price happy hour, slow and inefficient bar service, and the bathrooms were unfortunately not being maintained well no soap and toilets not flushing properly. This spot used to be such a great experience. Hoping management can make some improvements and bring it back to what it once was! Please! Food is great let’s just get it back!!!

Do you know anyone hiring?

I'm looking for work in the Leander area.

I have many years of customer service but I'm open to try new jobs to expand my experience. I'd consider myself easy to train with an optimistic mindset.

Please let me know if you know any open opportunities!

Social/special interest groups?

Howdy! I'm looking for some avenues to socialize with other people. I work remote and just moved here about a month ago and I'm struggling to establish a social circle. I'm a 29y/o male, single, and I like all things outdoors, cars, beer, disc golf, bikes, and all kinds of random other things. I saw that there are some kind of local sports leagues, but it seemed like you had to already have an established team and couldn't just "walk-on", at least for kickball. Anyone have ideas/leads? Thanks!
