Old Settlers Park is one of Round Rock's most popular parks. It is a well-known sports destination for both amateur and youth leagues, and it boasts one of the highest rated disc golf courses in the greater Austin area. Residents in the area also commonly enjoy biking, swimming, and playing volleyball in the sand, and there is ample space to run and even fly a favorite kite.

The park boasts more than 645 acres, providing ample space for fishing, cricket, tennis, baseball, softball, soccer, and more. Additionally, locals flock to Old Settlers Park to barbecue or take in a game of horseshoes at one of the two provided pavilions. Parking is plentiful, and while kids enjoy the playground, parents and adults can take in breathtaking views of the area.

You love to see your kids happy and playing, but all of those toys and games can make quite a mess in your home. Here are a few smart ways to store and organize your kids’ toys, even if they’re not great about cleaning up after playtime.

1. Under-couch storage. If your children usually play in the living room, invest in some under-couch storage drawers that you can simply tuck away once playtime is over. These drawers are flat enough to store under just about any sofa, and they make cleaning up a breeze.
2. Bookcases. While you might only consider bookcases for storing, well, books, they also make a great way to store your kids’ games and toys. Simply add some large storage bins in coordinating colors to create a cohesive look.
3. Bath toy storage. Keep all of those rubber duckies tucked neatly away after bathtime by installing a metal storage rod next to the bathtub. Hang metal buckets or plastic bins from the coordinating hooks to keep the toys out of the tub.
4. Shoe organizers. Use cheap, plastic shoe organizers to keep smaller kids’ toys neatly organized. You can even hang them in the closet just like you would when storing shoes.
