Lake Park is a city in Becker County, Minnesota, United States.

[2] The area upon where Lake Park was founded, started to be settled in 1841 by fur traders while a Dakota encampment still existed on Lake Flora on which part of the City Park is now located.

In 1871, the Liberty Township Board changed the name to Lake Park Township; for which the name "Lake Park" comes from a Dakota phrase of "Where the Prairies meet the Waters" as the site became a railway stop for the Great Northern Railway by the town founder, James Canfield.

For many decades, up until the mid-1980s it was also known as the "Lefse Capital of the World" for its lefse factories and their high production, but they came to an end due to a national recession and the loss of regular rail freight service stops in the city.

[8] According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 0.97 square miles (2.51 km2), all land.

Amtrak’s Empire Builder, which operates between Seattle/Portland and Chicago, passes through the town on BNSF tracks, but makes no stop.

The nearest station is located in Detroit Lakes, 13 miles (21 km) to the southeast.

The City of Lake Park has retained direct ownership of all its major utilities, except for Telecommunications, instead of choosing to deregulate.

In 2015, Broadband was reclassified a minor yet still separate utility; the City of Lake Park has yet to determine whether to add this service to their offerings of public utilities or to franchise it out like other telecommunications to a third-party for a fee, such as Arvig.

Lake Park's school system is combined with that of neighboring Audubon.
