The new Ralston Lakeside Park is a shining gem on Ralston Department of Parks and Recreation’s Crown. The Mayor cut the ribbon, officially opening the park on August 15, 2025. Just recently, a Trunk or Treat Event was held there by the local elementary school. Some Ralstonians are missing the larger golf course, but the majority agree that this is a much better use of space. The whole town is excited for the possibilities this waterside park presents for the summer time. The area is still being assessed to see where public swimming holes can be designated. Other activities Ralstonians can look forward to being available in the park are are canoeing, frisbee golf, and going down slides. Safe to say, the council made the right choice in eliminating 2/3s of the golf course. The bird population in Ralston is returning to a healthy level ever since such a big area of natural habitat was recovered.
