Lakeside Recreation Facility
Prior to Lakeside's purchase by the City in 1990, Lakeside Recreation Facility was a private swimming and tennis club. Subsequent to its purchase, the city reorganized by developing major Capital Improvements to the facilities for use by the general public. While providing Galesburg's only public Water Park, Lakeside's main building provides valuable, indoor recreational space. This capability provides an added dimension to the services the City of Galesburg Recreation Division is able to provide, especially in the winter months.
Lakeside Recreation Facility offers area residents the following amenities:
- Four hard surface In-door tennis courts.
- Two Multi-Purpose courts which host -- Volleyball courts (2), Basketball courts (2), Portable Basketball Standards.
- In-door Batting Cage for Baseball and Softball.
- Men/Women restrooms/locker rooms.
- Individual and group tennis lessons.
