Lakeside Park Carousel, Historical carousel in Port Dalhousie, Ontario, Canada.
The Lakeside Park Carousel contains 68 hand-carved wooden animals including horses, lions, camels, goats, and giraffes arranged around four central chariots.
Charles I.D. Looff and his factory workers, including Marcus Illions, created this carousel between 1898 and 1905 in Brooklyn before its relocation to Ontario in 1921.
The Friends of the Lakeside Park Carousel volunteer group maintains this mechanical heritage, preserving traditional craftsmanship through regular restoration efforts.
The carousel operates from Victoria Day to Labor Day, maintaining its original five-cent ride fee, with paid parking available in the adjacent lot.
A Frati & Co. band organ from Berlin, modified by Wurlitzer, provides music through paper rolls that municipal workers change every two days.
