Lakeside Park is a very large space. Coming around in the later 1980's the park hosted larger events such as the Lake Fair.
Today, the Menomonie Public Library's Storywalk is the most active item in the park, feature different stations of a story to take in while walking around this park's nice asphalt path.
Lakeside Park is THE ONLY place you will find a fishing pier that truly rates for handicapped in the city of Menomonie, ... and it is as far from the parking lot as can be.
The park is well mowed and has some great trees. The playground equipment is okay, the classic metal slides being removed more recently, there is not much left for the young kids. Even when the city of Menomonie gets Federal Covid Aid (ARPA) money, the Mayor has his own plans for that and to hell with some newer play equipment in a location such as this. Or even sprucing up LaPointe park.
But with such a great open space next to a very large parking lot and an existing restroom structure with modern electrical, why wouldn't this be the most logical spot for the 3M Club of Menomonie to set up their company's holiday party location?
Oh, that's right, because it's not all 3M, it's the Mayor's pet project using those ARPA funds. And only Mr. Mayor has the best ideas in this city. And 3M has people willing to be obedient.
But let's take a look around Lakeside Park in Menomonie. It's easy to imagine a very large city light display here, as well as space for different vendors to set up mobile stands in the parking lot, serving visitors to the holiday decorations, as well as being available right near the boat ramp for ice fishing enthusiasts passing through.
