Lakewood
About 155,000 people.
Lakewood sits just west of Denver and is a green, sunny city that leads right up to the foothills of the Rocky Mountains. It is known for its many parks and its big historic Belmar shopping district.
You can explore the Lakewood Heritage Center with its old buildings, walk the trails at Bear Creek Lake Park, and shop and play at Belmar. The park's lake is perfect for a family picnic.
