Goodale Park is a 32.56 acre regional park in the Victorian Village community. Goodale Park has changed substantially over the years. In the 1870s, it hosted a menagerie. Two lakes were constructed, and visitors boated on them until 1920. In 1969, the west lake was filled. A circular carriage path was installed in 1860 and removed in 1955. The shelter house and adjoining caretaker’s residence was built in 1912, featuring an open breezeway between two sections. This breezeway was enclosed in 1974 to provide year-round space.
