Indian Lake Playground and Pool

If you’re in Smithville and need somewhere to take the kids on a hot afternoon, this is the spot locals actually go to. The water feature is the real draw — nothing fancy, but exactly what you need when it’s pushing 100 degrees in the Texas summer. It pulls in families from all over town, so you’ll run into people you know, which is kind of the point out here. All ages show up, from little ones splashing around to grandparents watching from the shade.
