News from Mayor Wendi Strom

Hey Lakewood! It's a new year, and that means that I'm renewing my Mayor’s Park Challenge, where I challenge myself and all of you to visit and enjoy Lakewood’s wonderful array of parks. Consider it a summer reading program for your body!

Each time you visit a new park, take a selfie with the park’s sign, submit it at the Selfie submission tab and tell your story about why you enjoy that park. When you submit your photo, check out some fun facts about the park on the Parks List. Each park selfie will be entered into a drawing for a grand prize to be determined at the end of the summer.

    Visit the city's park list to see all the parks listed by name A-Z, and check out the map to see where each park is located. If you decide to visit all 115 parks, please keep in mind that many of the parks include new parkland, green spaces, and undeveloped parks that do not have permanent park signage or amenities and are not regularly checked for safety hazards.

    Aviation Park is located on the site of the former Aviation Country Club, a social club for World War II pilots and other aviation personnel in the 1950s. Prior to that it was the Broadmoor Country Club, which hosted big name entertainers like Lawrence Welk.
