The land was a working ranch for decades before being donated to the city in 2004.
The park contains the historic Garey House, which retains its original structural character and serves as an event venue.
Over 7 miles of trails are specifically designed to accommodate both hikers and equestrian riders.
The park provides direct river access, allowing for fishing and nature observation along the South San Gabriel River.
The project was made possible by one of the largest private land donations in the history of the City of Georgetown.
Garey Park is a 525-acre facility located along the South San Gabriel River in Georgetown, Texas. Donated to the city by Jack and Camille Garey, the park preserves a former working ranch environment. The grounds feature over seven miles of hiking and equestrian trails that wind through varied terrain and riparian zones. Visitors have access to a large off-leash dog park with separate areas for large and small breeds. The park includes a splash pad for children and several dedicated playgrounds. It functions as a public venue for events, featuring a modern pavilion and multipurpose indoor spaces. The landscape includes native Texas flora and protected wildlife habitats along the riverbanks. The facility is actively managed by the Georgetown Parks and Recreation Department.
The elevated overlook points offering expansive views of the South San Gabriel River valley.
Bring ample water as most of the trail system is exposed to direct sun.
Check the park's official event calendar before arriving, as certain areas are occasionally closed for private rentals.
Wear sturdy, closed-toe footwear if planning to navigate the unpaved natural surface trails.
Do not attempt the longer hiking trails in the middle of summer afternoons without hydration supplies.
Closed on Tuesdays; may experience intermittent closures for private events at the Garey House.
Leash laws apply outside of the designated dog park; pack out all trash to maintain the riparian environment.
