Morse Park Improvements

Morse Park Playground was completed in May 2022

The original "Lakewood Park," Morse Park, located at 8180 W. 20th Ave., is a lovely mature park that dates from before city incorporation.

Based on the survey results, a draft plan for the playground will be posted on this page for feedback from residents. Playground improvements:

• Meet the budget allocated for all work required including removing the existing equipment
  and installing new equipment and playground surface.
• Provide play equipment that meets safety requirements established by the U.S. Consumer
  Product Safety Commission and the Handbook for Public Playground Safety.
• Provide a variety of play structures and components encouraging activities inclusive of
  multiple age groups.
• Meet current American with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements, replace existing rubber surfacing with a new, fully-accessible protective surface.

Lakewood secured funding through the federal Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program. CDBG provides annual grants on a formula basis to states, cities and counties to develop viable urban communities. Visit Lakewood.org/CDBG to learn more.
