Rec Centers Celebrate Lakewood's 50th Birthday With $1 Admission

A special rollback week is being offered to mark Lakewood's 50th Anniversary.

LAKEWOOD, CO — Leading up to Lakewood's birthday on June 24, the city is hosting special events, contests and a scavenger hunt. In celebration of the anniversary, some of the city's most popular recreation centers will offer $1 admission.

In June 1969, residents living in neighborhoods such as Alameda, Green Mountain, Bear Creek, Applewood and Lakewood voted by more than a two-to-one margin to create a city, one of the largest incorporations of its time, according to the Lakewood Heritage Center.
