The City of St. Catharines has temporarily closed the Lakeside Park Carousel to complete some preventative maintenance based on recommendations from a recent routine visit by the Ministry of Labour, Immigration, Training and Skills Development, as well as the Technical Standards and Safety Authority (TSSA).
While we had planned to shift the carousel to weekend and holiday-only operations starting Sept. 7, the City is working on developing a plan for safe and effective maintenance to address the identified concerns.
We understand how beloved the carousel is to the community, and our priority is ensuring both its preservation and the safety of everyone involved. We will keep the public updated as we work through this process. Thank you for your patience and understanding.
