Wright Park construction is almost complete!
Wright Park opening June 12
May 22 Update! The fences are coming down. While there are still a few finishing touches to be completed including the new dog park, portions of Wright Park are now open. Stay tuned for more information on park completion, anticipated June 12.
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 and increased utility work is now May 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.
Learn more about Wright Park planning
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.
The Wright Park Master Plan survey is now available.
