This park is great! There is lots of space for families to spread out and enjoy the lake. There is a limited number of covered picnic tables available but you can also bring your own shade.If you plan to enjoy this park, please pick up after yourself, there are multiple dumpsters and no reason to litter on our beautiful lake.

Awesome place to spend with family and friends because there is so much space between pavilions and grassy areas make it great if pavilions get full. We wanna make it an every weekend event because we have had so much fun on multiple occasions. Safe and friendly people working and visiting

Such a great place to be during the spring and summer months. We went there today and contrary to the world being in the midst of a pandemic there were quite a few people attending today. Nevertheless, we had a wonderful time. My suggestion is that you bring your pop up tents, beach umbrellas, and folding chairs because picnic tables are limited.

Great little place to swim and have a great time! Every pavilion has a grill. You may have to do some cleaning most people dont clean up after themselves very well here.... Youve got your usual small town big fish in a small pond type people with attitude problems but it doesnt detract from the beauty of the place. its usually $5 to get in for the day but right now because of covid 19 they arent charging any fees for the rest of the season I believe so good deal there.... Its not perfect but its a good place for no money. You can drink as long as you dont bring glass bottles

One of the best fresh water lakes weve ever seen and been in along with still house lake just down the road..clear blue green water..too many people throwing trash out on the shores..too lazy to walk to the dumpsters in the parking lots or dont care and the park rangers arent cleaning it up..theres no hand soap in the restrooms as of today and no soap dispensers on the walls...there should be trash cans at the restrooms and down closer to all of the pavilions not that any of those people littering would matter to them

Its nice. There are both rocky and sandy shores. Last few times Ive been during the weekend there have been patrols which was nice. Only complaint is that the shore tends to be covered in boats. Where we were there was 5 to 10 boats shored within a 100 feet. It was also super crowded but its a lake so that was expected.

Its a very popular place. The whole outside area seemed clean and well maintained. The double boat ramp is steep.

Beautiful spot for swimming, picnics and relaxing. There is a fee to enter the park, but worth it, a one year pass is only $20.Belton lake is beautiful. A small childrens play area surrounded by picnic tables. There were 2 boat ramps as well.

Great park. You have a great view of the lake and can go swimming. Cost is only $5 for a day pass but you can leave and come back in. Wish I had brought my swim suit. Plenty of picnic tables and shade cover. First day in August and it is in the upper 90’s but there is a good breeze because of the lake. Park is dog friendly and your dog(s) will enjoy the water.

The kids enjoyed it. Shade is minimal. Great spot to work on your tan! They have working restrooms. There are some covered tables with benches but unless you’re the first one there, you may not get one. There was police presence. Overall a family friendly place. The one annoying thing was everyone was playing their own music off their Bluetooth speakers. All kinds of music playing at the same time from every direction. Made for an interesting experience I suppose! Would go again.

Review №62

This large body of water is picturesque, and allows many activities. The entirety of this lake, to include the shoreline is managed by US Army Corps of Engineers. The city of Temple may support this park, but Corps of Engineers is the primary manager of the water. This means you will not see personal docks in this lake. Temple lake Park is five of five stars, due to the many day sites, a protective cove, and low entry fee of $5.00 per car load. If you are a veteran, you can file for your free pass, that is good for all federal park locations. The lake does get busy on the weekends, so parking may be limited, but you should be able to get parking on any given day. Water shoes are recommended, as this is not a sand beach. It is pea size gravel, and due to recent flooding, may have some submerged items like sticks. In general the park is very clean and family friendly.
