CITY LAKE PARK

Our beautiful Boonville City Lake Park, a 15-acre lake in center of our city, was built by the Corp of Engineers, and originally named Waterworks Lake, and was the source of water for the community of Boonville.

In 1928, The City of Boonville piped in its water from water wells in southwest Spencer County; the name of the lake was changed to Boonville City Lake. 

Amenities:
The park consists of three playgrounds, one basketball court, a spray park, two picnic shelters, two gazebos and three parking lots.  Calling (812) 897-1230 can reserve the shelters.  There is no charge for renting the shelters.  The spray park was opened in 2006 and is open generally from June – August for children 11 years old and younger.  There is no charge for admittance to the spray park.

Children must be accompanied by a responsible adult.

A 6 tenths of a mile concrete walking path is available which circles the lake.  In 2000, lampposts with flowers were implemented and arranged along the walkways for further safety and a more scenic walk. 

The Boonville City Lake is stocked with bass, bluegill, crappie, and channel catfish, and is stocked by the State Fish hatchery.  A fishing license is required for anyone 16 years of age and older.  NO boating or swimming is permitted.  The Boonville City Lake has become a large attraction to the community and is enjoyed by all.

Occasionally some of our churches have music events at the park and invite the public.

Our goal is for families to gather at our park and have an enjoyable family day.  Enjoy your time at our City Lake Park.

BRACKENRIDGE PARK
