Lake Park Community News is a way of sharing community happenings, freely and is not a page run by a business or unit of government. Only volunteers, with goal of promoting Lake Park and publicizing community events to those who love Lake Park, Minnesota.
Lake Park was founded during the 1870s by Thomas H. Canfield of the Northern Pacific Railway. The area was later incorporated as a city within the state of Minnesota in May of 1881.
Originally, a place of retirement for Thomas H. Canfield and then a railroad town for many decades, Lake Park gradually evolved into the community it is today located along U.S. Highway 10 where farm country meets lakes country.
