Goal #2. Continue to take care of and improve Lakewood's existing parks, cultural and recreational facilities.

The Imagine Lakewood! statistically valid resident survey revealed that Lakewood residents love their parks and recreation facilities. However, we can always improve!

• 69% of residents think the Lakewood Link Recreation Center is in need of some improvement.
• 61% of residents think Green Mountain Recreation Center is in need of some improvement.
• 57% of residents think Carmody Recreation Center is in need of some improvement.
• 56% of residents think Bear Creek Lake Park is in need of some improvement.

To achieve this goal, we will:

a. Identify potential areas for enhancement and/or expansion of existing facility space and park amenities.

b. Establish an ongoing building assessment schedule to evaluate and prioritize facility maintenance needs.

c. Advance the City's energy, water, and built environment goals adopted as part of the 2015 Sustainability Plan during facility upgrades and new construction.

d. Maximize usage of available programming space.

e. Continue to utilize annual capital planning efforts to prioritize and establish timelines and capital project coordination.

f. Continue to renovate and modernize playgrounds as operational and capital project funding streams allow.
