Our vision is that Lakewood is a healthy and vibrant community where opportunities abound. The mission of the Parks, Recreation and Community Services Department is to support an active, engaged and livable Lakewood through quality parks, diverse programs and sustainable practices. The playgrounds, activity centers, and other facilities of the Department are established by law for public recreation purposes. [Ord. 579 § 2, 2014; Ord. 420 § 1, 2006; Ord. 126 § 1, 1997.]
