Lakeside Country Park is a country park just south of the town of Eastleigh in Hampshire. The park covers 60 acres and is home to the Eastleigh Lakeside Steam Railway.The park is on the site of old gravel workings with lakes formed from gravel pits. As well as the lakes themselves the park boasts meadows and some young woodland.In April 2005 a band of travellers illegally set up camp in the park and on surrounding land including allotments with over a dozen caravans there at one stage.
