The 132-acre Belmar Park is a favorite among families and long-term Lakewood residents, including those who are protesting a new apartment project proposed for land nearby.
"It was a real eye-opener because of the size, the scale of the project and it shares a property line with our park," said Lakewood resident Steve Farthing. "It's a pretty severe reduction of the habitat. Habitat loss is the number one reason bird species are declining," said Farthing. The Belmar Trailhead project was launched to resolve the issue of parking near Belmar Park. The city had an agreement with the former owner of 777 S. Yarrow for event parking. Residents would also use those parking spots to get close access to the park. Now that the property has a new owner, the city is constructing a new trailhead near the Belmar Library with overflow parking.
