No matter where a tour group is going, there are stories to tell along the way. That’s why we carefully plan routes that provide some extra oohs and ahhs in between our stops. The Sunken Garden of Lakeside Park, designed in 1920, always delivers. It’s a real treat when a wedding happens to be underway as the tour bus passes by, as happens regularly in warm weather. When there’s a beautiful bride, people might even miss the glorious roses that lacing around the edges of Lakeside Park.
For swampy land which once served as the lagoons of a drainage system, this park has really come a long way! From its humble and functional beginning more than 100 years ago, Lakeside Park is now an anchor for the surrounding neighborhoods, providing facilities for picnics, play, fishing and ice skating in the winter. And oohs and ahhs for tour groups!
