Ballwin

Ballwin is a suburban municipality in western St. Louis County with residential neighborhoods and multiple recreational facilities spread throughout its area. The North Pointe Aquatic Center and The Pointe at Ballwin Commons offer year-round swimming and fitness options for visitors of all ages.

John Ball established the settlement in 1804, which led to a permanent community forming in 1837. The area officially became a city in 1950.

The annual Ballwin Days festival brings thousands of residents together for performances, food vendors, and community activities that strengthen local connections.

The best time to explore is from May through September, when recreational facilities operate fully and the weather is pleasant. Parking is readily available at most attractions and public areas.

The Shop Ballwin First program encourages local economic growth through incentives and promotions for customers who support neighborhood businesses. This commitment to supporting local commerce sets the community apart from other suburbs in the region.
