What an incredible day at the Fondy Food Truck Festival this past Sunday on Oven Island at Lakeside Park!

With 40 amazing food trucks and a wide variety of free kids activities (shoutout to the crowd-favorite Bubble Garden!), it was truly a day full of smiles, laughter, and community spirit. And we couldn’t have asked for more perfect weather to top it all off! ☀️

The Friends of Lakeside Park would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to everyone who came out to support this free community event. Your support is what makes events like this possible—we are so grateful! 💚

Join us for Clean Up Days

Meet at Oven Island by the Main Shelter. Volunteer trash cleanup is a family-friendly event that welcomes volunteers of all ages. It is also the perfect opportunity for groups or individuals needing volunteer credits. Confirmation of Volunteer Service Forms will be available on site. Children under the age of 18 must be accompanied by an adult. There is no need to pre-register, simply show up! The Friends will supply gloves, trash grabbers and bags.

Mission Statement

Lakeside Park is a legacy. It is the backyard for the citizens of Fond du Lac; created, developed, and nurtured over decades of City and volunteer oversight.

We commit to continue that legacy for future generations, in partnership with the City and the citizens who use it, love it, maintain it, and find solace within it.
