Lakeside Park has a unique red shingle beach that has been formed over many years. A pipe company in 1955 built a facility here that produced baked clay pipes. Clay pipes that didn’t meet the company’s quality standards were were buried and forgotten at the edge of the property along the shore of Lake Ontario. Slowly, the embankment has been eroding and the pipes are being exposed to the weather and water. As they break up and fall into the lake they get tumbled by the waves until they become small rounded shingles. So that's how we got this unique stone beach.
