Reviews
Nice park the only downfall is my grandson fell as soon as we got there on the roots from those trees
A very clean and fresh place ❤️❤️
This park was amazing the environment was incredible and the bathrooms were clean!! if you needed maintenance they were available to help I really enjoyed my experience there It was excellent !!!
Beautiful and clean park, lots of shade. Went to see my 5 yr old play tball.
Great for walking/jogging/biking in the sun or the shade.
Good park, location good, but the kids section needs to be updated, more spacious, and the sand should be removed, and replaced with the modern clay look, glass and other objects that can harm children were found in the sand, not good, and people do these things on purpose, sick but true
Love that they have a toddler park and big kid park. They also have a swing for you and your child. Very helpful for a nervous little one.
Love this park! Just no restroom open when I went
Very nice park. Easy walking trails and a pleasant place for families.
Awesome park and recreation center with multiple baseball fields, and there is a dog park adjacent to it.
This park is a 10 minute walk from the house and I love the trees they have there
Great place for a run, I took my dog, and he loved it as well. Beware of the horses at the south end of the park (they're fenced in), my dog was very excited to see them lol
It’s a nice park right by the trail. It’s not big, but it would work for a short walk.
Adore this park it literally has it all. Running, biking, skating, horseback riding, great water views, historical buildings and machinery. Me and my son have come here almost weekly and there is always some new beauty to see or play with. Let’s just hope we can keep Lakewood from allowing construction to ruin a portion of it!
It was nice and clean. The restroom was stocked and clean with soap and updated air dryers for my hands. You don't see that in most parks. We used the community room for a birthday party on a rainy day. The room was big enough for my Sista's game night party. It was raining but the heater kept us warm and we had a great time.
My favorite place to bring my dog he can run free ,the park is gated they can run and play very safe and family environment
Lost of trails plenty of spots to sit and relax as well as pleasant scenery
I walk here nearly every day. Nice calm, quiet open space. Walling trail around the outside. One pad a play equipment. Picnic table. Sometimes there is a coyote or 2. So beware if you need to be with your dog. No bathrooms.
Visited 28 Park pavilions before picking this one for our wedding. Zero regrets, resulted in stunning photos.
A gorgeous park in Ocean County, Lakewood New Jersey. The park is filled with huge trees,
I visited Ryerson Park last weekend during a baseball game, and it's a lovely spot with a few minor quirks. Parking can be a bit challenging during game days, but there's ample street parking not too far away. The bustling atmosphere around the ballpark adds to the charm.
One thing to be aware of is the adjacent dog park, which can lead to some four-legged visitors. While it's great for dog lovers, you'll need to watch out for dog poop on the walking trails and grass areas.
Despite these minor inconveniences, the park itself is very clean and well-maintained. The greenery is inviting, and it's a nice place for a leisurely stroll. If you're looking for a vibrant park with some quirks, Ryerson Park is worth a visit.

So peaceful. Great for walking. Bikes. Dogs. Elders. All happy family.
Nice easy, flat path walk around a lake with a great view of Denver on one side, and the sunset in the mountains on the other. If you go mid-afternoon or later, about half of the trail is shaded. Make sure not to let your dog eat the goose poop though. It can give them diarrhea for a few days. Fortunately we got some probiotics and a special diet from our vet that helped. There are also a porta potty and trash can available in the parking lot. Starbucks is next door, and King Soopers is across the street.
Great park since they got rid of the tuna fish sandwiches.
Wide, paved path, which goes around the lake and is about 1 mile in length. Several benches at different spots right on the lake, plus very nice play area for kids with several picnic tables in several spots close to the play equipment. Dog friendly and folks seem to generally considerate about keeping their dogs leashed. I think the restrooms are mostly open during the warm weather but unsure of their condition because I don't visit them. Though the park shares a border with Jewel street, the abundance of trees and vegetation throughout the park make it easier to ignore, at times even forget, that you're in the midst of an urban/ suburban area. A lovely, easy to access oasis🥰.
Nice park... I walk my dog there. Nice path around the lake with shaded areas. There is a dock for fishing. I have not fished there yet but I have heard that you can catch some good sized fish. Several people have mentioned that they catch something every time they go.
Heritage Lakewood Belmar Park is fabulous to walk through. From the visitor center to the Colfax hub and farm center, there are many interesting thing to see and learn about. Walking among the many trails around the lake, you will have the opportunity to see many beautiful and serene sights. I loved the Estes motel (a part of a large complex operated in the 50’s) and the tractor shed with all the vintage vehicles in it. The visitor center itself offers a cute exhibition and even the gift store is cute. Staff is cheerful, park is very well maintained and there is much parking available.
Lovely county park. Lake Beach looked like it had been closed for quite a while. Don't think I would swim there even if it were open. A few trails and tennis courts. Other side of park with the picnic tables was nicer.
This place is great for all ages. You have places to sit, you have places to set up chairs to sit. There are trees for shade. My 2yo son's first time here was today and he couldn't have been happier. I've been coming here for years. I just wish they had some sort of food there so we didn't have to leave for lunch (when I forget to pack it. Lol) :)
Love this park. Great place for large parties, BBQs and games. Been going there forever.
A sweet little garden is part of this walk around the lake. Many succulents that I have never seen before. There's also a huge playground and plenty of parking. Public bathrooms available.
Wonderful and vibrant place to visit. From the very young to the very old, a great place to get a little exercise and meet others.
This is flagship county park in Ocean county in terms of amenities. While I prefer more secluded Wells Mills in this county’s park system, pleasant smell of white pines while hiking (legacy of being Rockefeller former vacation estate) is a major draw for me, and typical Pine Barren’s pitch pines just don’t have it.
There is a lake tucked right behind the Heritage Center in Lakewood! If you don't know it's there you'll definitely miss it! It is so beautiful out here! Great for bird watching, beautiful mountain views, and a fun little boardwalk! Great spot for kiddos!
Been going to Kendrick Park since the early 1980's. Wonderful place for kids. Now that I'm an old guy, It's a great place to walk the dogs.
Guys from king soopers come to this park after work to drink and women watch. Don't bring kids here! And keep in mind you're being watched from that little parking lot by startbucks.
Lovely park. Lots of walking trails. Mostly paved sidewalk or packed dirt hiking paths. Lots of birds and geese, good for birdwatching. Today we saw many cormorants. And there is a district with historic buildings, recreations, and a museum. The weir gulch passes through and is neat to stroll along.
Very cool park in the belmar area of Lakewood. Lots of trails around the pond, areas to sit, and walk your dog. A few statues can be found and there's an area of the park with historical buildings and objects. It takes about 20 minutes to walk around the pond, good day outside!
Beautiful little park with a playground, gazebo, many areas to sit and relax, and a walking labyrinth. Hidden gem in central Lakewood!
This reservoir is right at west side of Kipling and north of Starbucks across the Kingsooper.
There is parking lot to the west of Starbucks's, nice quite and easy walk. Good family walk as well as dog walk. West side walkway is nice shaded and great for summer, while the dam is the east side lining Kipling with a great view into Denver downtown.
Nice Fall color, and quit a few different birds pay visits here- Herring, Pelicans, ducks, hawks to name a few.
With Starbucks right at south east corner, ( yes, walkway pass right by their drive through line). Grip a cup and enjoy the slow pace and view while at it. Specially the sunrise.
Great fishing too.

Fantastic park! Lots of walking trails, felt very serene and peaceful. Loved the lake and views of the mountains in the distance. Had a great time exploring the remaining fall foliage on a beautiful day!
1 of Lakewood's 3 "Drone Reservation" parks. These seem to have been picked using the same criteria used for picking land for the Indian Reservations in the 1800's: What land to do we have, that we like the very least? That is what we will reserve for drone pilots!
The park is small, so your flying space is limited. If you're doing FPV, there's not much to look at. The open terrain for fixed wing is about 200 yards long, and 140 yards wide at it's widest, narrowing down to only 80 yards at the far end. You'll have to be careful of pedestrians and dog walkers, so that you stay clear of them, further narrowing your flight area.
As another reviewer mentioned, not all dog walkers clean up after their pets; beware of doggie land mines.

Have been coming to this wonderful park for 40 years! The beauty and energy of the trees and lakes are fabulous. There is much to do there with trails, playgrounds, fields, picnic areas, dog park, and disk golf.
Great little park in the middle of the city of Lakewood. Walked around the lake after lunch for a pleasant stroll. Very clean and well kept... calms the nerves.
Ocean county park is one of my favorite county parks. It's lush greenery both in trees and grass fields is always kept so nice. I have been coming to this park for 40 yrs on my own. 🙃 those that know, know. It has always seemed well maintained . I've hiked the park, had personal trainer sessions at the park @foodisfuel , went to gs here as a child even went to the ocean county fair here I believe. Prior to it being at Miller Airport. There are tennis courts and pickleball. There are a few playgrounds for children. And today I found out there is a great disk golf course. The course was alot of fun, in that it took you thru the trees and across the fields. (Beware of ticks) you cross the stream a cpl times. Which is a challenge to clear for a beginner but worth the effort. 🙂 There is a big picnic area which you may need permits for, but it looks nice and clean and has a pond. the park is free to get in and they close at dusk.
It's nice
Take a walk, and encounter all types of water fowl and wildlife. The most surreal encounter was once had with a prehistoric turtle. I call it the alligator turtle! A clash of wild nature with the Denver skyline along the trail--it's a beaut!
Absolutely beautiful spot. A friend took me here for a walk during my visit and I had no idea how picturesque of a location this was. The water is full of turtles and fish, the paths are beautiful. Just a lovely place for an afternoon stroll. Hung out here for a while and loved every minute. Very cool spot.
I ended up at Kendrick Lake Park completely by accident and I am glad I did!! There was a storm I was chasing through the area and I wanted to go somewhere good for the sunset so I ended up here! I highly recommend walking around the trail for the entire lake because the landscape changes quite a bit and you can get great shots from all around the lake. I found a beautiful Heron sitting in the bushes and it kept moving around the lake so it was great to get it from different vantage points. The lake is relatively small so the waves are not too bad which make for some still, peaceful shots of the lake. This is a great place to catch a sunset at a less crowded park near Denver!
Very tiny playground. Nice grass area. It's a little neighborhood park and not a destination.
New equipment, nicely landscaped. Called "Cottage Park".
Nice park to take your children friends or family to play soccer or in the play ground. It also has a gated fence so the children can't run into the streets.
It uses to be nice. Its ghetto now. They even lock the bathroom before 6pm but it doesn't close until way later. Update, is it is 6:31pm and this sign is newly posted. Ans the bathroom is closed. So on top of suspicious characters lurking about on my afternoon stroll I gotta leave to find a restroom. Meanwhile the undesirables pee all over the park.
It's one of the newest parks in the area , lots of equipment !! And places to sit
It needs some one to sweep off the maze so you can see it better
Beautiful place. There are paths to walk and to drive, thru the tall pine tree forest. The air quality is divine, the serenity is almost touchable. Big park with beach area (no swimming), picnic area, tennis, etc. The park hosts the Ocean County Police Academy, and has off-the-leash dog area. Restrooms are available.
KIDS. LOVE. THIS. PLACE. Fun little splash pad, cool little play structures, kind little community. We will come back here!
Brand new, and love to see kiddos here just having a great time outdoors. Much needed environment to bring healthy spirits to surrounding neighborhoods.
Cute little splashpad shaped like a baseball diamond. My almost 5 yr old loved it. No formal restrooms but there were 3 Port-a-Potty's onsite. Lots of shady metal picnic tables. Perfect place to cool off on a hot summers day 🥵👍
Beautiful park. Good trail to walk. This is the best park I have seen in the area of Lakewood.its a well maintained park.They have a nice garden area that is walk through.you can sit and watch geese, ducks, and bunnies.Huge playground and plenty of fishing spots are there.I really liked this lake park.
Really nice!!! Why? VERY SMALL,CLEAN AND ABOVE ALL ITS SECLUDED. I GOT THERE AT 8AM AND THERE WERE PLENTY OF NICE,SHADED AREAS TO SET UP A BLANKET AND HAVE A PICNIC. A PERFECT PLACE TO TAKE YOUR SIGNIFICANT OTHER TO CUDDLE UP AND ENJOY A PEACEFUL DAY DURING A HOT SUMMER DAY!
This is a great area to walk pets, however people don’t clean up after their dogs. There is poop everywhere!!
Playground needs updated, but great place for a stroll.
a hidden gem with views of the mountains and the Denver skyline. come at sunset. I'm sure sunrise is great too.
The park i grew up in!
The park is very large and spacious, it has a place for dogs of all sizes and a huge playground for kids.. great for joggers.
As others have mentioned Wright park is a nice park for walking dogs. It is fairly well maintained and has a decent loop for walking and running around. There is a small playground and play-set for children. Trashcans are located around the perimeter for disposal of doggy gifts.
*Edit: I didn’t realize dogs actually aren’t allowed at this park. I saw the sign after I went back. Very sad because it was perfect for him!*
Very cute hidden park. I was dog sitting a pup who doesn’t get along with other dogs so I needed to find a small secluded park. This one was perfect! We were the only ones there on a Sunday too! Everything was pretty clean, except for some food trash that people decided not to clean up after themselves. Please keep the parks clean! :)

The place it's cool but sometimes you saw mean people a lady was rude with my son she use strong words on him and of course I don't like it.
Like I'm gonna throw you on the ground and thinks like that.

Very nice and clean park I love this place, there is enough area for play and small size party. Also, there is a gated area for the littles and all the equipment nice and new.
This lake has a trail that encircles it. Half is paved and has little shade but a great view of Downtown. The other half of the path is dirt and gravel and can get muddy after wet weather. Geese and ducks inhabit the area, bird watchers frequent the path. Fishing is allowed but no swimming or boating.
Nice park in residential community. You do not see it from the main street. In fact there is no sign showing park from main street. The park is completely fenced. We entered thru the small gate in front. Several slopes for walking up and down. Also picnic tables located in different places. Sandy playground with 2 swings for older kids and 2 for younger kids. No slides but a climbing area with bars and rope. Stairs to walk across from side to side of the covered structure. Have monkey bars in large circle formation and a very small zip line. The zip line has no way for the kids to enter onto it. You have to hold them up to reach the bar every time they want to use it. (Only negative about the equipment). Great place to walk around and saw couple of older residences walking their dogs. The residents can enter thru 2 other entrances from their streets and there is a water fountain. Grounds were very well maintained. No covered picnic area and no baseball field or basketball court. Nice park for the residential area and my 7 yr old great niece did enjoy playing there for about 2.5 hrs.
Awesome splash pads never seen one that kinda bowled out the chlorine was a bit much but very festive crowd, nice grass area along side splash pads to sit in shaded areas. You can bring outside food, BARBEQUE, public restrooms free parking easy access located right off main street
It's a nice little park with a couple tables and a swingset with bars and slides. No grass only wild weeds cut down with natural prairie bushes. Nice setting for running your dogs .
Nice clean public restrooms, great park workers here, really keep the grass in top shape, two baseball fields, huge field that runs the length of the park in back, where football is played; Also has kids outdoor play equipment and water spray (during summer). Large parking lot, porta potties also, (I don't recommend them), mostly this park is geared faor playing sports. Not so much for Dogs...
I want to inform you that as of Tuesday, May 28th,2019, the public restrooms are out of order and closed. Kind of disappointed to see that they haven't got this issue resolved yet, it's been days...

Cherry Cove park is very special to me. I've been here in the Cove since 81. Daughter graduated from CSULB since then. Taken my Granddaughter to swing and play in the sand now at her first year at CBUR. "Cherry Cove Park is special to me.
I love this park! It is big, beautiful, and well kept. Free splash park for the kids to have fun getting wet. Big, and clean restrooms, baseball fields, soccer fields, basketball court, and really fun playground, as well as the splash park. They have really nice covered areas as well to host birthday parties/events
Great quiet park. Lots of people take there dogs here to play fetch. As well, it's a great place to sled when it snows!
Great neighbors. Everyone wants into Cherry Cove...but not everyone has the money, although it's a steal of a price...still too high for a lot of folks. But, like some areas, there are a few homes that owners refuse to improve. These are the ones to find and buy if you are a first time buyer. We've lived here since 1987 and still love our home. Lakewood is a great community with many parks, including Cherry Cove Park. Great place to raise a family.
