A nice park with an old carousel that still costs 5 cents. Great for families. The piers are currently under construction, otherwise you can walk down them and see the lighthouses. Lakeside Park is nearby, it's a nice area for a walk and also the place that the Rush song is named after. There’s also a beach that’s decent for a swim.
