Every year the Fulton County Leadership Academy handles group projects to help improve Fulton County. This year one group has made it their goal to improve Lakeside Park Beach.

The beach, also known to some as Manitou Beach, Dairy Queen Beach, the boat launch, or even just the public access site, is located on East 9th Street across from Dairy Queen and is the first park most people see when coming to Rochester on State Road 25 or Highway 14. This group has made it their goal to update and renew this area, but they need your help in doing so.

They have launched a survey which can be found at https://forms.gle/cHixaQehE2ny1M7n8 (link is on our website fultoncountypost.com). The goal of this survey is to determine what residents want most from this space and to take those ideas to the appropriate parties to get them done.

Responses are being accepted now through May 6.
