Lakeside Park

Located on the shores of Lake Erie, historic Lakeside Park is a 6.5-hectare oasis, established in 1907.  This park features a natural amphitheatre complete with walking paths, playground and spectacular lakeside gardens carefully tended by the Kingsville Horticultural Society.  In 2013, Kingsville officially opened its second Bi National Peace Garden on the south side of the park overlooking the north shore of Lake Erie.  The cobblestone bridge over mill creek was built in 1928.  In 2007, Lakeside Park received heritage designation.  The pavilion located at the south end of the park is a popular destination for wedding parties, with reservations being made by hopeful brides and grooms 2-3 years in advance!  The interior has large stone pillars and open-air design, highlighting its delightful historic and remarkable architectural features. 

 Lakeside Park is host to the Annual Kingsville Fantasy of Lights Festival. This Festival was integral in the Town’s selection in 2016 at the Municipal World award winner for Winter Life.  Other activities at Lakeside include  the Sun Parlour Folk Music Festival, Migration Festival Children’s Activity area, the Kingsville Easter Egg Hunt, weekly weddings, receptions, picnics, tobogganing in the winter, concerts, big screen movies and more.
