Lakeside Lions Park — Attraction in Spring Lake Park

I would give it 5 stars if it were still a swim beach and the bathrooms were open during summer months. I do love this place though. I have a lot of very fond memories here dating back to the early 70's. I remember the big slide out in the lake, and there was always a life guard on duty.

Huge and gorgeous picnic area if you're looking for a place for a family...
