Fond du Lac city officials say a newly renovated Lakeside Park Lighthouse and Lighthouse Drive construction project will greatly enhance the park. Ribbon cutting ceremonies were held Thursday marking completion of the projects, along with a new boardwalk at Lakeside Park West. Fond du Lac city councilmember and Advisory Park Board representative, Brett Zimmerman says it’s exciting. “We’re embracing the future and respecting the past,” Zimmerman told WFDL news. Zimmerman says the loop by the lighthouse stays essentially the same with improvements to parking and safety. The Lighthouse was repaired after damage was detected during routine maintenance. Advisory Park Board member John Papenheim says the boardwalk will open a section of the park that many residents may not be aware of.
