It's been a while since my last stop over at the Celoron Lighthouse in Jamestown, NY.  It's within the same area of the "Lucy Statue" and Lucille Ball Memorial Park.   

The surrounding around also has over 2,000 feet of public access lakefront with a 7 acre park, boat launch, band shell - for concerts, pavilion, picnic area, playground, basketball court, several marinas, and community center.

On the other end of the public property you will see this Veterans Memorial and Park.  It's a park within a park.  Very nice.

And here's the Lucy Statue.  The first one that was placed in the park was awful.  They referred to it as "Scary Lucy" and had it removed shortly after.  Once they completed a more appropriate one (the one you see here) it has been placed ever since.  This is a selfie spot for sure.  Lucille Ball was born in Celoron, NY.  There are MANY things dedicated to her in the area.

This park is about 30-or-so-minutes from where I live.  It's a lovely park in a very small town.  It's been a while since I stopped tho.
