Ballinger City Park & Ballinger City Lake

Peaceful, very clean. Enjoyed walk by the water. Dog friendly.

Nice little park. Free entrance. Plenty of parking. Right on the colorado river with a damn near by. There's an old school metal playground and a newer playground in the same area. Lots of picnic tables and even a pool. Pecan trees and a mix of mesquite and oaks. Acr9ss the river is a marshy area that looks like good habitat for wildlife. I saw golden fronted wood peckers, Easter blue birds and blue heron in my short time there.

Lovely City Park. The playground is nice with an area for children 6+ and another area for toddlers. Toddler swings, regular swings and a tire swing. See saws, disc golf, walking trail and plenty of space to run and play. There is a seasonal pool and snack station. RV hook ups, grills and picnic tables. This park is right along Elm Creek with access to fish. We loved it, and will be visiting again!

The good: quiet at night, power and water at sites, some sites are on the river and some are in a grassy area, ones by the river have picnic tables, maintenance guy was friendly. The bad: $20 a night is higher than it should be for what they offer. Entrance signage isn't great and one of the entrances is a steep hill. The ugly: trash. It's all over the park. Some was recent, some was old, so obviously maintenance isn't picking up litter at all.

Great RV Overnight! This city park is a perfect overnight stop. It a wonderful park with a community pool, playground, swings slides, and teeter toter. Plenty of room for the kids to run and play. The RV spots were right next to the river. You enter the park under a big wire sign. Once you go down the hill you will see the camping are off to your left. You turn left into the area which is shaped like an oval. The sites are pull over sites(not back up or pull through). It was super easy. We called the town hall ahead of time to reserve our site. We paid $20 over the phone and they had a worker unlock our electric and water. When we arrived everything was all set. *Be careful if you have pets, there were burrs everywhere in the park. We stuck to walking the down on the road, after she continued to have them in her paws.
