In this video, I explore the historic park, take a ride through its fascinating history dating back to 1908, see its vintage Art Deco architecture, classic rides, and the famous Cyclone roller coaster, while also uncovering the story of the long-abandoned Lakeside Speedway that once drew thousands of racing fans every weekend. Is Lakeside a forgotten amusement park, a living museum, or something in between? Join me as we discover one of Colorado's most unique and overlooked attractions.
