Lakeside Park is a home rule-class city[4] in Kenton County, Kentucky, United States.

The area that is now Lakeside Park was part of a farm granted to John Leathers.

During the Civil War, the Covington and Lexington Turnpike (which passes through town) was guarded by forts.

[6] The first subdivisions were championed by Kenton County commissioner Paul Hesser, who also pushed for incorporation.

The city is bisected by the Dixie Highway, U.S. Route 25, and Interstate 275 bypasses Lakeside Park to the south.
