Port Dalhousie amalgamated with the City of St. Catharines in 1961. Lakeside was developed into a recreational facility after 1901, when N.S. & T electric rail line was extended to Port Dalhousie and the Park. Lakeside Park was run jointly beginning in 1920's by Canadian National Railway and the Niagara St. Catharines & Thorold Railway. The line terminated at the wharf.
The park had a number of attractions to draw visitors including a dance pavilion, ball park, bathing pavilion and various rides. Visitors came across the lake on steamers such as the Dalhousie City and the Northumberland to visit the park. The site was run by Sid Brookson in the 1950's and 60's until the City of St. Catharines took over management of the park in the 1970's.
