Lakeview is a passive park, located at the corner of Ella Ave. and Ontario St. It was constructed in 1978/79 with funding from the City of Sandpoint and a grant from the Soil Conservation Fund. Before it was developed into a park, the property was the site of the Bonner County Fairgrounds. Currently the Bonner County Historical Society and the Sandpoint Lions club lease space in the park for their buildings and activities. A portion of the park is also developed and maintained by the North Idaho Native Plant Society as a native plant arboretum. In addition, the park has a small house that is maintained by Parks and Recreation and rented to a private party. Lakeview hosts numerous community events, family reunions, and picnics.
