Views of the Neighborhood – Lakeway – Pops With Cops

~ John W. Howell

Today, we are going to visit Rough Hollow, a neighborhood in Lakeway. It is at the Rough Hollow Visitors Center, where the Lakeway Police Department is hosting an event titled Pops with Cops. No, it isn’t a cocktail hour but frozen treats to help stave off the effects of the heat. We are catered by Eberly of Austin, and our entertainment is Jan and Dean.

I think it turned out very well.

I thought I would share some more photos of the Rough Hollow Center, including the splash pad.

The swimming pool. In addition, the center has a complete workout facility and tennis court.

I have a disclaimer here. There were other photo opportunities of officers with kids, but my policy is to avoid taking photos of children for this blog. Everyone had a great time.

So let’s enjoy the food and music. I hope you have a great week.

  1. I understand you not photographing the children. Sometimes it’s hard to know what to do around kids these days. A great day with the PD though!!

  7. THIS is the best way to tie to cops to the community. They clearly like their jobs and I hope the community appreciates them!

    Had salmon lat night so maybe the eggplant?

    Ear scritches to the girls.

  9. 1 pork chop dinner, please, and a shady spot to sit. Who doesn’t love the cops? And ‘cops with pops’ makes it even easier to love ‘em. Perfect song for the story. Well done, John.

  11. I like those coverings over the playground equipment to keep hot metal from burning kids’ hands. And the splash pool and swimming pool look like great places to cool off during a hot Texas summer. Kudos to the cops for coming up with a good idea for bonding with the community!

    1. After that report I was craving one as well. Never did get one. Since I have been banned from shopping at the food store, I think I will put in a request for a box. We’ll see how it goes.
