Anyone that grew up in the Niagara Region has spent time at Lakeside Park in Port Dalhousie. Even Neil Peart, a local hero, wrote a song about it. The wonderful merry-go-round is still there and it still only costs five cents a ride. A good deal for kids of all ages. There are more than just horses on it too, lots of goats, camels, giraffes, lions and benches for the fogies or for people with infants.
And even on a sunny Saturday afternoon we only had to wait one song to hop on.
Ari took a few minutes to test out horses before going with a dark charcoal one with a long, real horsehair, tail. She rode a couple more times after that, picking different horses each time.
I was very happy to see these three fellows that have been around that park since I was a kid. I wonder how many times they’ve been repainted.
They’re garbage bins, if you couldn’t tell. I wish I had these at my house!
i can’t tell you how many memories i have at that park during high school years.. good and bad. The carousel is awesome though! Good choice for a summers day. :)
still one of my favorite things to do is ride the merry-go-round when I come home to visit!
Kids of all ages for sure. I loved the ride I had yesterday.

Awe that looks like so much awesome fun!
As for your previous post, CTS sucks balls! I have it too, rather reluctant to go have surgery though…
