“An atmosphere that is as intimate as a house concert, with the production value of a large performances venue.”

Lakeside Arts Park at the Dole is proud to present ‘the Listening Room’ at the Dole, a destination to be enjoyed by both the performer and the audience. Lakeside Legacy Foundation dedicated this beautiful venue on September 13, 2012. This opportunity was made possible by the generosity of a special group of individuals from Beach Cite, Inc.
