Lucille Ball Memorial Park is located in the village of Celeron, on the shore of Lake Chautauqua. Lucille Ball spent summers here as a teenager, selling hot dogs. The park contains a dock, boat launch, playground, and a small lighthouse. This is also the location where the Summer Wind sight-seeing cruise departs. Children love feeding the local ducks, and many kids play in the water near the boat launch and pier. Many people fish off the dock, so swimmers should beware of fishing lines and fishing hooks. This park does not feature a beach or lifeguards.Location:

The playground offers slides, a bridge, and monkey bars. The surface is bark mulch, and the playground is not universally accessible.

A statue of Lucille Ball is located in this park, immortalizing a scene from the Lucille Ball show (the statue is selling "vitameatavegamin" syrup from an episode of the show).
