Lakeside: 66 Years of Fun in the Sun

Lakeside: 66 Years of Fun in the Sun

The sound of a roller coaster flying down the tracks, squeals of delight, blinking lights & cotton candy. Those are but a few memories of Lakeside Park. It has been more than 30 years since it closed the gates, yet many still think of their time there fondly. What began as a 2 million gallon pool in 20s, eventually became an amusement park with rides & games along with concerts from top stars.

Lakeside: 66 Years of Fun in the Sun is a local public television program presented by Blue Ridge/Appalachia VA
