Lakemont Park houses the world's oldest surviving roller coaster, Leap-The-Dips.

It was privatized on May 23, 1986 when it was purchased by the Boyer Candy Company, at which point it was called Boyertown USA.

The park was closed for the 2017 season, as many rides and attractions were undergoing maintenance.

In 2018, Lakemont Park announced that it would remain closed for the season, with plans to reopen as a "family entertainment location with some amusements" in the summer of 2019.

[3] The park did not operate during the 2024 season due to a lack of funds for ride maintenance.
