Thanks to recent parkland acquisitions, the City of Lakewood is designing a new trailhead to the Bear Creek Greenbelt at S. Wadsworth Blvd. to provide better access to Bear Creek Trail. More details will be provided on this page when they are available. Following extensive study and engagement with community partners including Colorado Parks and Wildlife and a team from the Colorado School of Mines, the City will not be advancing plans for the Bear Creek Dog Park at this time.

Learn more about the City's newest dog park at Mountair Park. In addition, a second dog park is under construction at Wright Park following a neighborhood engagement process.

    The City of Lakewood is in the process of conducting a comprehensive review of a proposed dog park location and want your input.

    Background
    Additional dog parks in Lakewood have been identified as a top priority for residents through the Imagine Lakewood! master planning effort as well as through a recent survey of Lakewood residents. Dog parks are shown to reduce off-leash dog violations and dog waste in other city parks. With only one community dog park, Lakewood has fewer dog parks when compared to other cities in the metro area.

    Location
    Located at the intersection of the Bear Creek Greenbelt and Wadsworth Boulevard at 2951 S. Wadsworth Blvd., the proposed Bear Creek Dog Park would also incorporate a new parking area and trailhead for the Bear Creek Greenbelt following a recent park acquisition. Improvements to the park could include up to 8 acres of the site dedicated to a fenced, off-leash dog park and trail connections.
