A day in the life of Lakeside Amusement Park is the subject of this 1973 promotional film. The filmmaker starts in the morning before the park opens and talks about what gets done before visitors walk in. He concludes at night when the park lit up. Because of some copy written music in the original clip, this is a new upload.

As a teen, our church sponsored a trip here every summer for years. We loved it. So much fun and we enjoyed the bus ride. Born and raised in a small town in VA between Suffolk and Petersburg. When Kings Dominion and Busch Gardens open we stopped going to Lakeside and started going to KD & BG since it was almost in our back yard per say. So many fond memories. We are all in our 60's now but when we go home and everyone gets together we still talk about the fun we had at Lakeside Amusement Park.

@@ajayy2621 , If you are referring to KD & BG's. Due to covid, KD didn't open at all during the spring & summer for 2020 but I believe they did open during Dec 2020 for Christmas with lights. They announced that they will open for the spring/summer this year, 2021 but that would depend again on the continual spread of the virus. BG did open in 2020 and projected to reopen again this year, 2021.

My Dad-David Greenway laid the railroad track for this park. His name was on the plank. One of my first photos was with him at this park. Went many times!

I just thought of the Sky Chairs... I used to scare my GF when they would stop, I would make it swing, and say "it's going to fall".That was mean! I think my family almost went every week during good weather.
