LAKEWOOD, CO — The Taft Park playground in Lakewood is set to be replaced in the fall, and the city has launched a survey to gather public feedback about the playground, at 2951 Simms Drive. The Ward 1 neighborhood park was last renovated in 1985, the city said. Playground amenities and accessibility are set to be upgraded. Some of the latest suggestions from Lakewood residents: No big equipment — stay within the boundaries of the current play equipment so that the open space remains for field sportsHave a dedicated division line between pets and kidsKeep the toddler slide but upgrade its rails and woodPlay equipment should be natural colors, durable and sustainable for a range of agesCreate a better picnic area Don't miss the latest news updates in Lakewood: Free Lakewood Patch Newsletters and Email Alerts | Facebook | Twitter City staff are expected to share design concepts with the community in August, and construction is slated to begin in the fall.
