I had a chance to visit Lakeside Park in Port Dalhousie this past Sunday morning. It was a wonderful day, sunny and not too warm with a pleasant breeze.
It was still early, 10:30 a.m. or so when I arrived and there were relatively few cars in the park's spacious parking lot. Families and young and older folks were walking about as I wandered over to the carousel. As you can see from the photos, this historic carousel is protected from the sun and elements by a special purpose, human scale structure.The carousel is available for parties and special events, call 905-688-5601 ext 1926 for details.
I encourage residents and visitors to visit the carousel when they can. The carved animals need to be ridden and the trip down memory lane will be wonderful for the older among us and the youth can make some memories. Go have a ride or just watch people have a really good time. You will find that you are grinning from ear to ear. I was.
Last but not least, if you are able, please donate to the donation jar. I am sure that your donations will be put to good use. If you have comments or would like to have a review of a feature here in the Niagara Region, please email us.
