History of Green Bay's Parks

Lakeside Place

In 1965 when Preble consolidated with the City of Green Bay, there were three areas on the north side of Nicolet Road (now Bay Beach Road) which were designated Lakeside Place No. 1, No. 2, and No. 3. About 1975, it was no longer referred to as three different sites but it was just "Lakeside Place". Improvements were added such as a drinking fountain, octagonal shaped shelter, basketball court, play equipment, softball and picnic areas.

1976 - The Boy Scouts put up an encampment for the bicentennial celebration.
