Lakeside Park West is a very special “somewhere.” It has an incredible natural beauty that is not found in Lakeside Park proper. It also is home to a marsh ecosystem that is fun to explore via the water or soon from the boardwalks. In 2023, many people will discover all there is to do and see in Lakeside Park West.
