New Playground Equipment For Hilltop Park In Lakewood

LAKEWOOD, CO -- Just in time for spring, parents and kids are excited that new playground equipment and improvements are planned for Hilltop Park, at 9766 W. 22nd Pl. The small park, less than an acre in size, will get a new playground structure, swings and spinner, small picnic shelter, benches, half-basketball court, irrigation system, planting beds and walkways, the city announced Thursday.

Proposed plans will be on display and the city's parks department will hear public feedback at a public meeting at 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday, May 8 at the Lakewood Library, 10200 W. 20th Ave.

In the last two years, the City has renovated playgrounds at Richey Park, Bonfils-Stanton Park, Founders Park, Sutherland Shire Park, Westborough Park and Carmody Park. Lasley Park, currently under renovation, includes a new large playground that will open this summer.

The Hilltop Park improvements will be complete later this year.

Lakewood has 101 parks, 188 miles of walking, biking, hiking and equestrian trails and more than 7,100 acres of open space land.
