Lakemont Park, Amusement park in Altoona, Pennsylvania.

Lakemont Park is an amusement park spanning more than 60 acres with rides and attractions for families. In addition to roller coasters, it offers paddle boats, mini-golf, batting cages, and a scenic train ride through the grounds.

The park began in 1894 as a destination connected to a trolley line and became an amusement park in 1899. This transformation makes it one of the oldest continuously operating parks of its kind in the country.

The park serves as a gathering place for the local community, hosting celebrations and family occasions throughout the year. Annual traditions like the holiday lights display create moments when neighbors and visitors come together around the water.

The park is easy to reach for families and groups, with covered pavilions available for gatherings of various sizes. Arriving early helps you enjoy the most popular attractions with shorter waits during peak seasons.

The park is home to Leap-The-Dips, a roller coaster recognized around the world for its long survival and historic design. This ride uses a rare side-friction technology that has largely disappeared from modern coasters.
