We asked, you shared! Lakewood’s Community Resources Department completed its arts, parks and recreation master plan in 2017.
Thousands of residents contributed to the plan's development by giving us honest and thoughtful feedback. The six goals and 42 actions below are included in the master plan which was adopted by Lakewood's City Council on October 23, 2017
Thank you for your contribution!

I missed the survey and I agree with all the above. I lived in Lakewood all my life I'm in my 50's what I feel is that you really cater to the seniors which is good but I feel like the children are being left out. One of the reasons I say that is I remember the Lakewood on Parade the children really looked forward to it the parade which My children and myself participated in and then the carnival and then the big firework display afterword. They had fireworks at Bear Creek Lake but quite. We now have to leave the city every year over the 4th to see fireworks. We feel this city has gotten really boring!!! But Seniors like it!
Lakewood is awesome!
I missed the survey but feel strongly that we need more dog parks. I also think the cost for rec centers keeps people from using facilities as much as they would like and it would be good to lower costs. New facilities are nice, but I fear costs would go up even more. I would like to see a household limit that cost less than 4 people. (perhaps $15). I would also like to be on an email list for any future city opinion surveys. Thank you.
We have some great parks; but would welcome some permanent or temporary restroom facilities. I.e. Foothills park and others
Love the idea of a new pool
I wonder what people mean by winter sports?
