Imagine Lakewood!

Reduce street light pollution (and save tax $$!!)

Street lights around Lakewood are excessive and do not follow best practices for minimizing stray light. Should we pay for illuminating open spaces and homeowner's yards/interiors all night at a cost to the community? Let's address this light pollution, reduce the impact on people and animals, and save that money for all these great ideas that GIVE to the community!

I've seen swinging benches in parks around the country and metro area. I would love to see swinging benches in parks that have great views.

Community Center at Mountair Park on the n/e corner of Depew and 14th.

The center could have meeting rooms (or an area with moveable walls to make rooms), kitchen, bathrooms and play area. Bring down the baseball building - replace it with bleachers. Put in a picnic area. There is already a basketball court and parking. The farm could use the kitchen for teaching cooking of good fresh food and the City Camp could use it for feeding the kids.

Summer outdoor movie nights and concerts;winter snow sculpture exhibits and contests; holiday activities (chocolate day, egg hunts, trick or treating, pumpkin carving, sleigh rides) art day with exhibits and participatory activities (chalk art, park canvas on which everyone makes a contribution); loads of ideas! Offer community activities to bring us together and enjoy our parks.

Interactive public art that encourages adults to stop and play, such as stairs or swings that play different musical instruments or notes.
