The park was built in 1925 as a WPA Project, and serves as Eastland’s primary park. Itl is located in the Southwest area of Eastland near the intersection of South Neblett and West Plummer. The park is currently undergoing an entire renovation project that totally changes the landscape and function of the existing park. See the Master Plan.

Areas to be constructed:
   ◊ large multi-use pavilion
   ◊ tot lot area
   ◊ new playground area
   ◊ miniature golf course
   ◊ entry plaza
   ◊ walking trails
   ◊ expanded open meadow
   ◊ 1000 seat amphitheatre.

One area of the Master Plan that is already complete is the Water Park. Opened in the summer of 2005, the water park is operated and maintained by the city and offers many attractions that set it apart from just an ordinary city swimming pool. Features include sunken ship toddler slide, a kiddies dual-action-slide, a mushroom waterfall, and a very large body-shoot slide.

Ringling Lake Park was originally owned by the famous circus king, John Ringling, and was later donated by him to the City of Eastland. During the 1930’s it was developed into a recreational park, but gradually lost its appeal.
