A great park to wander around. Walk there from our home. Check out Lake Park Bistro for Sunday brunch, or dinner (reservations required), the lawn bowling events, the Northpoint Lighthouse, and the beautiful bridges. Behind Lake Park Bistro is a beautiful set of stairs to take you down to Lincoln Memorial Drive. I suggest you check out the stairs, but come back up to walk through the park on your way to Bradford Beach. There is a bridge you can take to access Bradford Beach from park
