Sometimes referred to as South Battle Creek, the Lakeview area was never a separate political entity. It was, instead, an area where people from the city came to rest and relax. Goguac Lake offers boating, swimming, and picnicking opportunities. Along the north end of Goguac Lake, about where the boat launch is now, was R.W. Surby's Hotel and Resort which opened in 1875. His resort was said to be a popular place, with rowboats, dancing, and dining. Surby's was open during the summer for 20 years, and then he sold to Mrs. Unna. The resort was enlarged and the name changed to "Lake View." She eventually sold the property, which became an amusement park with a merry-go-round, a roller coaster, a Ferris wheel, and a large recreation building. During the World War I era, it was called Liberty Park, and operated under that name for a decade before closing for the final time and being demolished. On the east side of the lake, Sanitarium Villa was built in 1880. It was planned as a summer annex for Sanitarium guests and was used for day outings, but became primarily a vacation spot for Sanitarium employees.
