- Lake Ballinger Park (wta.org)
Ballinger Park itself is 42 acres, a beautiful green space established after a golf course in the area closed in 2012. As a passive-use park, the space has not been developed with a set trail system, but three access gates for people recreating on foot are available. One is near the boat launch, one near the clubhouse, and the last on the park’s west boundary.
- Lakeview Trail (wta.org)
Follow a gentle, stroller-friendly slope for about a mile along the eastern and northern shores of scenic Lake Ballinger. You can extend your walk by continuing west along Lakeview Drive to the nearby Interurban Trail, or head east to explore the gravel forested path through Terrace Creek Park, 23200 48th Ave W, a popular destination for disc golf. Regardless of your route, the Mountlake Terrace Transit Center makes a good starting point.

Lake Ballinger is a freshwater lake with a surface area of 103 acres in southern Snohomish County, Washington. It is bordered by the cities of Mountlake Terrace to the east and Edmonds to the west. It is fed by Hall Creek at its north end and its outflow is McAleer Creek at its east end, going on to feed Lake Washington.
