Day use activities
Daytime visitors to Lady Bird Johnson Municipal Park can use picnic tables (available on a first-come first-served basis) and four playgrounds at no charge to accommodate those just wanting to get away from it all for a couple of hours.
Three free nature trails that take hikers across Live Oak Creek give nature lovers a chance to get up close and personal with the natural habitat.
The pathways were established by the Friends of the Fredericksburg Nature Center.
For vacationers who enjoy fishing, the park offers a 17-acre lake and plenty of spots to wet a line. Motor boats, however, are prohibited, as are trotlines.
Elsewhere in the park, there are baseball and softball fields, a sand volleyball court, an outdoor basketball court, a seasonal swimming pool (with kiddie pool to the side) and tennis courts.
Rental facilities
Visitors who plan large gatherings may want to look into using one of the park’s five large outdoor covered pavilions or one of three indoor sites, including the Tatsch House, the Cardinal Room at the golf course clubhouse or the spacious Pioneer Pavilion.
Each of the five outdoor pavilions is available on a first-come first-served basis or by reservation.
Information about the facilities and reservation opportunities is available from the City of Fredericksburg’s website at www.fbgtx. org.
Overnight camping
Camping under the stars is available at the park, which accommodates RVs and tents.
In all, there are 90 RV spaces available for travel trailers with 30-50 amp electrical hookups, water and sewer, cable TV, wireless Internet and shade trees.

Dog Park
The City of Fredericksburg and the Fredericksburg Dog Park Association [FDPA – a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization] have joined together to create a city dog park within Lady Bird Johnson Municipal Park.
Opened Dec. 14, 2018, the five-acre dog park adjacent to Lady Bird Johnson Municipal Park can accommodate both large and small canines.
This is a great opportunity for visitors to let their furry friend run off all that extra energy. The park asks everyone to use common courtesy and clean up after their pets.
More information may be obtained for any of these parks by calling park headquarters at 830-997-4202 or City Hall at 830997-7521.
