# Parks and Recreation Advisory Board of September 22 2026

The City of Lakewood Parks and Recreation Advisory Board met on September 22, 2026, to discuss various topics including updates on capital improvement projects, fee schedules, and policy alignment. Key procurement-related discussions included the awarding of the Westlake project bid and the ongoing design and funding efforts for the H Barn project, a $12 million community facility with significant private and public funding commitments. The board also reviewed proposed changes to marine and park regulations to align with state laws, particularly regarding watercraft and e-bike usage, and unanimously approved recommended updates to the Lakewood Municipal Code. Additionally, the board discussed potential fee increases for park vendor permits and boat launch passes, including considerations for nonresident season passes to enhance revenue and support maintenance. The meeting included updates on cemetery maintenance, trail projects, and upcoming events, with an emphasis on balancing community use and funding constraints. The board planned to submit a collective letter endorsing the 2026 draft legacy plan by early October to support future grant applications and capital planning.
