Lake Park
A lakeside bluff park designed by Olmsted, with ravines, stone bridges and lake views, and the favorite walking ground of East Side residents.
Lake Park was planned in the 1890s by Frederick Law Olmsted, the designer of New York’s Central Park. Along the lake bluff are ravines, stone arch bridges, lawns and shaded paths, and North Point Lighthouse stands within the park. The park has a French restaurant and a bowling green. In summer you can descend from the bluff trail to the beach. Entry is free. Located on the East Side about 5 km from downtown, it is well suited to a bike ride.
