Wright Park construction is underway

Get excited! Wright Park construction began in the spring of 2025. The construction will be phased, with portions of the park opening to the public when they are safe for use. Anticipated completion due to seeding is anticipated for the spring of 2026.

To remain in environmental compliance, a few trees and shrubs that are in poor health were removed prior to construction. These removals will also make way for the new neighborhood dog park to be added to the park. In addition, the project includes planting 211 new trees to support the park and city sustainability goals. New shrubs and grasses will also enhance the park.

The City of Lakewood and Stream Landscape Architecture teamed up to develop a master plan to re-imagine Wright Park! Located at 500 Wright St., this 10-acre neighborhood park is located West of Union Boulevard and South of Sixth Avenue in Ward 1. This community space plays an important role in the neighborhood as it serves more than 2,000 residences within 1/4-mile of the park that have limited outdoor space or yards. The park currently provides ample open space, soft-surface trails and a small playground.

With input from the community and stakeholders, the city developed a master site plan for the future of this special park to provide amenities desired by the neighborhood.
