What's Happening on the Grounds |
|
In the early 1900s, tennis was banned on the Hotel Lakeside Front Lawn to prevent men from gazing at women while they played and to preserve modesty in Lakeside. The courts were moved to Perry Park, where tennis has become a fixture – holding tournaments and welcoming families for nearly a century. The current courts are approximately 35 years old and long overdue for repair. Special thanks to more than 20 Lakesiders whose generosity has made these enhancements possible. Read more...

The Grindley Aquatic and Wellness Campus Pool is getting a fresh coat of paint!
A shiny white floor and bright lines will welcome swimmers of all ages for a big splash next summer. Special thanks to Martin Painting & Coating Co. for their specialized work painting the pool. Due to the inclement weather in the spring, painting had to be delayed ensuring that the pool could be open in time for the 2022 Chautauqua summer season.

Environmental Facilities Supervisor
Ty Trumbull does a little bit of everything as Lakeside’s Environmental Facilities Supervisor. The same can be said of him before he started working with Lakeside’s excellent Maintenance Team two years ago. Trumbull served in the U.S. Army for 3 ½ years. He was a ranger who was stationed at Schofield Barracks near Wahiawa, Hawaii. He also had airborne duties. So, while we thank him for the great job he’s doing at Lakeside, we can also thank him for his service. Read more...
