About Lake Park, FL

Lake Park, often referred to as the "Gateway to the Palm Beaches," brings together history, natural beauty, and a community spirit - all in one place.

Founded in 1923 as Kelsey City, this town was designed as an opulent haven for snowbirds from the north. Economic realities shifted, and the town reemerged in 1939 as Lake Park, its new name emphasizing the delight of the water. Centrally located along the Intracoastal Waterway, Lake Park represents something of a haven for those in love with water. Imagine literally boating and/or fishing just outside your doorstep. But water activities are not all the town is about; it's also a cultural destination. Galleries, public art, and events that bring the community together populate the Downtown Arts District. 

Be it a festival of the locals or a quiet day at some installation of art, the town nurtures a creative vibe that reverberates throughout the year. Although small, Lake Park strikes a perfect balance between nostalgia and modern living, with a little bit of something for everyone, from history to contemporary experiences, with endless outdoor activities.
