The City of Lakewood prides itself on providing a high quality of life for citizens in our community.
We have an extensive park system and miles of street Right of Ways lined with an urban forest, made up of both deciduous and conifer trees, helping to make Lakewood a special place to live.
The City of Lakewood receives the Tree City USA award annually.
Information
Urban Parks staff has extensive experience and takes pride in managing our urban forest, maintaining over 6,000 trees in the parks and approximately 33,000 street trees.
