Lakeside Park in Port Dalhousie is a beloved destination that combines sandy beaches, trails, and family-friendly amenities with one of Canada’s most charming historic treasures, the Lakeside Park Carousel. Hand-carved between 1898 and 1905 by Charles I.D. Looff, the carousel features 68 beautifully restored animals and still delights riders for just 5 cents per ride, a tradition that has endured for well over 100 years. The park also offers picnic areas, playgrounds, volleyball courts, and connections to the Lake Ontario Waterfront Trail, making it a perfect spot for both relaxation and recreation.
