    Thank you for your feedback, we agree sidewalk connections adjacent to the park should be improved. At this time, funding is only available for the playground replacement and accessibility improvements within the park. I will share the request with the city engineer through the sidewalk replacement program. Lighting is also not funded at this time, but I will share this feedback with our project team to see what opportunities might be available.

    Do none of these options include swings?

    There is not space for swings and a play structure in this location, unfortunately due to the safety surfacing requirements.

    Hi there,

    The community garden exists today and there are not plans to modify this space at this time. We will share your feedback with Denver Urban Gardens. DUG operates Lakewood Community Gardens with resident volunteers.
